Inbreeding causes decreased seminal quality affecting pregnancy and litter size in the endangered black‐footed ferret

2018-12-27

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Ex situ conservation breeding for species recovery often must address small founder number. Here we investigated the long‐term effects of small founder size in the endangered black‐footed ferret Mustela nigripes using 20 years of reproductive data. Specifically, we studied seminal traits, pregnancy success and litter size in the context of the population's low genetic diversity. Detailed evaluation of 539...
