Genetics and extinction (2005, unknown): “This has been verified in laboratory populations of Drosophila, houseflies and mice (Frankham, 1995b; Bijlsma et al., 1999, 2000; Reed and Bryant, 2000; Reed et al., 2002, 2003).”
Conservation genetics of population bottlenecks: the role of chance, selection, and history (2010, background): “As expected, they found that extinction probabilities increased with increased inbreeding and became greatly enhanced under stressful environmental conditions (see also Reed et al. 2002 ).”
Inbreeding depression in benign and stressful environments (2005, background): “Many of the studies we examined used artificial stress factors such as chemicals or heavy metals (Bijlsma et al, 1999, 2000; Dahlgaard and Hoffmann, 2000; Reed et al, 2002; Kristensen et al, 2003).”
Inbreeding, inbreeding depression and extinction (2008, background): “…regarding the potential involvement of inbreeding in extinction risk is scarce, increased extinction risk due to inbreeding has been demonstrated in a limited number of laboratory studies, where other factors have been controlled (Frankham 1995a; Bijlsma et al. 1999, 2000; Reed et al. 2002, 2003).”
