Effects of inbreeding on immune response and body size in a social insect, Bombus terrestris (2003, result): “An interesting, persistent finding in our study was that immune response and body size varied significantly among maternal families and among colonies (Tables 1 and 2). This corroborates findings in a variety of organisms, for example freshwater snails (parasite resistance; Wiehn et al. 2002) and pl”
Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “Inbreeding depression has well-known negative consequences for the survival of small populations (57, 97, 111, 115).”
Habitat fragmentation affects the common wetland specialist Primula farinosa in north‐east Switzerland (2003, background): “While smaller populations of P. farinosa were less likely to host the smut fungus than larger populations, plants in smaller populations might be more susceptible to smut infection because of higher degrees of inbreeding (Ouborg et al. 2000).”
The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “Furthermore, some evidence suggests that inbreeding depression is not a linear function of inbreeding level (Pray & Goodnight 1995; Ouborg et al. 2000), which further complicates matters.”
