• Inbreeding and extinction: Effects of rate of inbreeding (2003, background): “A steadily growing body of theoretical and experimental data indicates that the effects of purging are rather small and highly variable (Hedrick 1994; Latta and Ritland 1994; McCall et al. 1994; Frankham 1995a; Ballou 1997; Lacy and Ballou 1998; Byers and Waller 1999; Frankham et al. 2001; Reed and ”
• Contribution of inbreeding to extinction risk in threatened species (2002, background): “large populations (Frankham et al. 2001).”
• Realistic levels of inbreeding depression strongly affect extinction risk in wild populations (2006, background): “Populations that have had a very small effective population size for a long period of time, or those that have recovered from population bottlenecks, should be less sensitive to inbreeding depression due to purging of deleterious recessive alleles, though the effects of purging are usually relativel”
• Conservation genetics of population bottlenecks: the role of chance, selection, and history (2010, background): “…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).”
• Genetics and extinction (2005, background): “Empirical evidence has typically found only moderate effects of purging (Ballou, 1997; Byers and Waller, 1999; Fowler and Whitlock, 1999; Frankham et al., 2001; Crnokrak and Barrett, 2002; Day et al., 2003; Reed et al., 2003).”
