Inbreeding effects in wild populations
USA. Small and isolated populations are inherently more vulnerable to external environmental perturbations and chance fluctuations in local survival and fecundity [termed ‘ENVIRONMENTAL STOCHASTICITY’ and ‘DEMOGRAPHIC STOCHASTICITY’, respectively (see Glossary)]. Are they also threatened by inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity? With data on the effects of inbreeding in wild populations ...
متن کاملGenomic Inbreeding and Relatedness in Wild Panda Populations
Inbreeding and relatedness in wild panda populations are important parameters for panda conservation. Habitat loss and fragmentation are expected to increase inbreeding but the actual inbreeding levels in natural panda habitats were unknown. Using 150,025 SNPs and 14,926 SNPs selected from published whole-genome sequences, we estimated genomic inbreeding coefficients and relatedness of 49 panda...
متن کاملExact Inbreeding Coefficients in Populations
A theory is given that allows inbreeding coefficients to be calculated exactly for populations with overlapping generations. Emphasis is placed on providing equations well suited for computer iteration. Both monoecious and dioecious populations are considered and family size is not restricted to being Poisson. One-locus and two-locus inbreeding coefficients are evaluated, although the reader ma...
متن کاملAncestral inbreeding only minimally affects inbreeding depression in mammalian populations.
Inbreeding depression can be reduced, or purged, by selection against deleterious alleles. This prediction is the basis of the recommendation that captive wildlife populations suffering from inbreeding depression be intentionally bred from healthy inbred animals. Yet data on the effectiveness of purging inbreeding depression are few. In this study I present and use two different regression mode...
متن کاملHow much gene flow is needed to avoid inbreeding depression in wild tiger populations?
The number and size of tiger populations continue to decline owing to habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and poaching of tigers and their prey. As a result, tiger populations have become small and highly structured. Current populations have been isolated since the early 1970s or for approximately seven generations. The objective of this study is to explore how inbreeding may be affecting the p...
