Abstract excerpt
Genetic evidence was assessed for inbreeding and population subdivision in a Robertsonian fusion (Rb) race of the western European form of house mouse, Mus musculus domesticus, in central Belgium. Inbreeding, and the factors responsible for subdivision (genetic drift and extinction-recolonization) can theoretically influence the fixation of underdominant Rb variants. The data consisted of allele frequencies of...
