Inbreeding depression and inferred deleterious-mutation parameters in Daphnia.
Genetics - 1 Sept 1997
Deng H W, Lynch M
Abstract excerpt
DENG and LYNCH recently proposed a method for estimating deleterious genomic mutation parameters from changes in the mean and genetic variance of fitness traits upon inbreeding in outcrossing populations. Such observations are readily acquired in cyclical parthenogens. Selfing and life-table experiments were performed for two such Daphnia populations. We observed a significant inbreeding depression and an...
