3 wrz 2019 · Here, we leverage a large observational study of ~450,000 participants of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKB) to quantify extreme inbreeding (EI) and its consequences.
Here, we analyzed patterns of genome-wide diversity, deleterious variation, and skeletal phenotypes in a sample of Isle Royale wolves to gain insight into the severe inbreeding depression and collapse of this population.
4 sie 2021 · These results help explain why some species seem to care more about inbreeding than others: inbreeding avoidance through mate choice only evolves when there is both a risk of inbreeding depression and related sexual partners frequently encounter each other.
11 paź 2022 · Even when inbreeding is costly, there are numerous examples of animals failing to avoid inbreeding or even preferring to mate with close kin. We argue that selective and mechanistic constraints interact to limit the evolution of inbreeding avoidance, notably when there is a risk of mating with heterospecifics and losing fitness through ...
inbreeding. Our study provides DNA-based quantification of the prevalence of EI in a Eur-opean ancestry sample from the UK and measures its effects on health and fitness traits.
2 gru 2021 · In a recent study published in Canine Medicine and Genetics, an international team of researchers led by University of California, Davis, veterinary geneticist Danika Bannasch show that the...
14 sty 2015 · We collected blood samples from 948 wild adult zebra finches (480 females, 468 males) at Fowler’s Gap, NSW, Australia, in two contiguous places (S 30°57′ E 141°46′ and S 31°04′ E 141 ...
