The Maintenance of Deleterious Variation in Wild Chinese Rhesus Macaques
2023-10-06
Abstract excerpt
Understanding how deleterious variation is shaped and maintained in natural populations is important in conservation and evolutionary biology, as decreased fitness caused by these deleterious mutations can potentially lead to an increase in extinction risk. It is known that demographic processes can influence these patterns. For example, population bottlenecks and inbreeding increase the probability of inheriting...
