Over the past twenty years conservation genetics has progressed from being mainly a theory-
based field of population biology to a full-grown empirical discipline. Technological …

Inbreeding, by virtue of its consequence on traits of interest, is a topic of major interest for
geneticists and animal breeders. Based on meta‐analysis conducted on 57 studies and …

Conservation genetics studies of populations bottlenecks are commonly framed under the
detrimental paradigm of inbreeding depression. This conceptual paradigm presupposes a …

Due to environmental change and anthropogenic activities, global biodiversity has suffered
an unprecedented loss, and the world is now heading toward the sixth mass extinction …

Conservation genetics is expanding its research horizon with a genomic approach, by
incorporating the modern techniques of next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Application of …

Developments in molecular and systems biology have enabled novel approaches to be
used in the study of inbreeding. Mechanistic and functional studies using 'omic'technologies …

The effect of environmental stress on the magnitude of inbreeding depression has a long
history of intensive study. Inbreeding–stress interactions are of great importance to the …

Genetic variation within a species can result in allelic expression for natural selection or
breeding efforts. Here, we identified an iron (Fe) deficiency-inducible gene, AP2-like ABA …

Although the majority of genes are expressed equally from both alleles, some genes are
differentially expressed. Organisms possess characteristics to preferentially express a …

Anthropogenic activities are causing a steep decline of wildlife populations. Increased
inbreeding in shrinking populations can substantially curb individual fitness and population …
