Unexpected positive and negative effects of continuing inbreeding in one of the world's most inbred wild animals
Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of offspring of related individuals, is a central
theme in evolutionary biology. Inbreeding effects are influenced by the genetic makeup of a …
