Inbreeding and extinction: Effects of rate of inbreeding (2003, methodology): “For example, there were no differences in inbreeding coefficients at the time of extinction for house fly populations maintained at effective population sizes (Ne) of 15, 45, and 75 (Reed 1998; Reed and Bryant 2000 ).”
Estimates of minimum viable population sizes for vertebrates and factors influencing those estimates (2003, background): “Greater than 12 generations of data are required to produce minimum viable population sizes that are in broad agreement with theoretical and empirically based approximations (Soulé, 1987; Thomas, 1990; Reed and Bryant, 2000).”
Genetics and extinction (2005, background): “This has been verified in laboratory populations of Drosophila, houseflies and mice (Frankham, 1995b; Bijlsma et al., 1999, 2000; Reed and Bryant, 2000; Reed et al., 2002, 2003).”
The relationship between population size and temporal variability in population size (2004, background): “Thus, these models are in broad agreement and underscore the growing consensus (Soulé, 1987; Thomas, 1990; Reed & Bryant 2000; Shaffer, Watchman & Snape, 2002; Reed et al. 2003 a ) that populations must be conserved at population sizes that are greater than 2000 to be viable in the long term.”
Extinction risk in fragmented habitats (2004, background): “…be ubiquitous in natural populations (Crnokrak & Roff, 1999; Keller & Waller, 2002; Reed & Frankham, 2003) and can have major effects on the persistence of even relatively large populations (Reed & Bryant, 2000; Brook et al., 2002; Reed & Frankham, 2003; J. J. O’Grady et al., unpublished results).”
Genetics in conservation management: Revised recommendations for the 50/500 rules, Red List criteria and population viability analyses (2014, background): “Subsequent to 1980, inbreeding depression has been reported in many laboratory populations with Ne P 50 (Latter and Mulley, 1995; Bryant et al., 1999; Reed and Bryant, 2000; Woodworth et al., 2002).”
Inbreeding and extinction: The effect of environmental stress and lineage (2002, background): “However, slower inbreeding also leads to elevated extinction risks (Frankham 1995b; Latter et al. 1995; Bijlsma et al. 2000; Reed and Bryant 2000).”
Inbreeding depression in benign and stressful environments (2005, background): “Such trade-offs between fitness components may be common (eg, Sinervo, 1990; Sinervo et al, 1992; Carriere and Roff, 1995; Preziosi et al, 1996; Reed and Bryant, 2000).”
Correlation between Fitness and Genetic Diversity (2003, background): “This is true only if the population is not kept small enough for long enough to allow the fixation of deleterious alleles to occur (Reed & Bryant 2000).”
