Selection for Heterozygosity Gives Hope to a Wild Population of Inbred Wolves
Recent analyses have questioned the usefulness of heterozygosity estimates as measures of the inbreeding coefficient (f), a finding that may have dramatic consequences for the management of endangered populations. We confirm that f and heterozygosity is poorly correlated in a wild and highly inbred wolf population. Yet, our data show that for each level of f, it was the most heterozygous wolves...

متن کاملSelection for Interchange Heterozygosity in an Inbred Culture of Blaberus Discoidalis (Serville).
ERMANENT interchange heterozygosity is not a common phenomenon. Its Psuccess depends on conditions of two kinds, those internal and those external to the organism. The failure of interchange heterozygotes is generally attributed to their semisterility. Their fertility depends on such internal factors as the degree of multiple association and the orientation of the multiples at metaphase of meio...
