Sociability as a personality trait in animals: methods, causes and consequences
Within animal populations there is variation among individuals in their tendency to be social,
where more sociable individuals associate more with other individuals. Consistent inter …

Population Genomics of Bettongia lesueur: Admixing Increases Genetic Diversity with no Evidence of Outbreeding Depression
Small and isolated populations are subject to the loss of genetic variation as a consequence
of inbreeding and genetic drift, which in turn, can affect the fitness and long-term viability of …
