Higher levels of inbreeding in thoroughbreds result in fewer racehorses, according to new research published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. A study carried out by ...
Inbreeding depression (ID) is the reduction in fitness (W) of inbred offspring compared to noninbred ones due to increased homozygosity, and is often quantified by δ = 1 – W inbred /W noninbred. Most ...
In many species, inbred individuals have reduced fitness. In plants with limited pollen and seed dispersal, post-pollination selection may reduce biparental inbreeding, but knowledge on the prevalence ...
