DNA-based methods for pedigree reconstruction and kinship analysis in natural populations (2003, methodology): “Estimators of r are useful as correlates of genome-wide IBD between individuals (Box 1). For example, one can estimate heritabilities of traits by regressing pairwise estimates of phenotypic similarity against r [3], or one could minimize inbreeding in a captive population by choosing mates based on”
Between a rock and a hard place: evaluating the relative risks of inbreeding and outbreeding for conservation and management (2006, background): “Nuculaspis californica viability 1 Alstad & Edmunds (1983) Phyciodes tharos fertility, viability 1 Oliver (1972) Scottolana canadensis population growth, fertility 1”
Inbreeding and runs of homozygosity: A possible solution to an old problem (2014, methodology): “, 1999); and (c) internal relatedness (IR), defined as IR1⁄4(2H Σhi)/(2L Σhi), where H is the number of homozygous loci, L is the number of all loci and hi is the frequency of the i-th allele in the genotype (Amos et al., 2001).”
Paternity in mallards: Effects of sperm quality and female sperm selection for inbreeding avoidance (2005, background): “On the other hand, inbreeding has negative fitness consequences (reviewed in Keller and Waller, 2002), whereas increased individual heterozygosity has positive fitness consequences (e.g., Amos et al., 2001; Foerster et al., 2003).”
Genetic similarity of social mates predicts the level of extrapair paternity in splendid fairy-wrens (2005, methodology): “IR is a modification of Queller & Goodnight’s r, but measures similarity of parental half-genotypes within an individual, instead of between individuals; thus it is a measure of inbreeding (Amos et al. 2001).”
Inbreeding depression in ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta): genetic diversity predicts parasitism, immunocompetence, and survivorship (2008, result): “We repeated these analyses using internal relatedness as a second estimate of neutral heterozygosity (Amos et al. 2001); however, because we obtained consistent results for both estimates, we present data only on Ho.”
The importance of immune gene variability (MHC) in evolutionary ecology and conservation (2005, background): “One might argue that many recent studies report that individual heterozygosity at apparently neutral microsatellite markers is correlated with key components of individual fitness such as survival [34], fecundity [35], disease resistance [14,36] and lifetime reproductive success [37].”
Sexy to die for? Sexual selection and the risk of extinction (2003, background): “One reason may be the intellectual challenge of explaining the existence of traits that at fi rst sight appear maladaptive — the peacockʼs tail being a famous example (Andersson 1994).”
