Genetic diversity-fitness correlation revealed by microsatellite analyses in European alpine marmots (Marmota marmota) (2006, background): “…between individual genetic variability and fitness, or more often fitness-related traits, has long been of interest to evolutionary and conservation biologists (Allendorf and Leary 1986; Houle 1989; Lacy 1993; Mitton 1993; David 1998; Hansson and Westerberg 2002; Coltman and Slate 2003).”
Emerging Issues in Population Viability Analysis (2002, background): “For a range of animal species, the cost of inbreeding has been quantified for juvenile survival (Ralls et al. 1988; Laikre & Ryman 1991; Lacy 1993), adult survival ( Jiménez et al. 1994), and reproduction (e.g., Ballou 1997; Lacy & Horner 1997).”
