Strongly deleterious mutations are a primary determinant of extinction risk due to inbreeding depression

2019-06-21

Abstract excerpt

Human-driven habitat fragmentation and loss have led to a proliferation of small and isolated plant and animal populations with high risk of extinction. One of the main threats to extinction in these populations is inbreeding depression, which is primarily caused by the exposure of recessive deleterious mutations as homozygous by inbreeding. The typical approach for managing these populations is to maintain high g...
