Whether inbreeding affects the demography and persistence of natural populations has
been questioned. However, new pedigree data from field populations and molecular and …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

We present version 6 of the DNA Sequence Polymorphism (DnaSP) software, a new version
of the popular tool for performing exhaustive population genetic analyses on multiple …

As populations become increasingly fragmented, managers are often faced with the
dilemma that intentional hybridization might save a population from inbreeding depression …

Genetic studies have typically inferred the effects of human impact by documenting patterns
of genetic differentiation and levels of genetic diversity among potentially isolated …

Quantifying human, plant and livestock inbreeding has been an important goal of
evolutionary biologists and agricultural scientists for nearly a century, and methods to do so …

The conservation and management of endangered species requires information on their
genetic diversity, relatedness and population structure. The main genetic markers applied …

Inbreeding depression (reduced fitness of individuals with related parents) has long been a
major focus of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Despite decades of research …

Inbreeding (mating between relatives) can dramatically reduce the fitness of offspring by
causing parts of the genome to be identical by descent. Thus, measuring individual …

The ease of obtaining genotypic data from wild populations has renewed interest in the
relationship between individual genetic diversity and fitness‐related traits (heterozygosity …
