Conservation genetics in a globally changing environment: present problems, paradoxes and future challenges (2007, background): “Evidently, this ambiguity could also arise from the diYculties of detecting inbreeding depression eVects under natural conditions (Reed et al. 2003), as well as the fact that we are unable to monitor the fate of inbred populations on evolutionary time-scales.”
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).”
Conservation genetics of population bottlenecks: the role of chance, selection, and history (2010, background): “As expected, the hypothesis that purging may decrease extinction probabilities is much more difficult to test, and to date there has been few studies on this particular question (Bijlsma et al. 2000; Frankham et al. 2001; Miller and Hedrick 2001; Reed et al. 2003b; Kristensen et al. 2008a).”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “In particular isolated reserves should be capable of supporting a sufficient number of adult animals (Reed et al., 2003; Reed and Hobbs, 2004).”
Genetics and extinction (2005, background): “While most of these studies have used full-sib inbreeding, slower inbreeding at rates within the range of many endangered species has also been shown to increase extinction risk (Reed and Bryant, 2000; Reed et al., 2003), as illustrated in Fig.”
