Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity: A possible solution to an old problem (2014, background): “The most frequent ones are (a) individual multilocus heterozygosity (MLH), which measures the proportion of heterozygous loci (Coulson et al., 1998; Slate and Pemberton, 2002); (b) mean d, defined as the squared difference in the numbers of repeat units between two alleles at a microsatellite locus,”
On the correlation between heterozygosity and fitness in natural populations (2002, background): “For example, in the study by Slate & Pemberton (2002) on a Scottish red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) population, heterozygosity at as many as 71 polymorphic microsatellites was positively associated with birth weight 2472 B .”
Genetic diversity-fitness correlation revealed by microsatellite analyses in European alpine marmots (Marmota marmota) (2006, background): “Recent studies have suggested that ideal conditions to reveal GDFC require hundred or thousands individuals and more than 10 loci (Slate and Pemberton 2002; Coltman and Slate 2003).”
