Integrative and proactive conservation approaches are critical to the long-term persistence
of biodiversity. Molecular data can provide important information on evolutionary processes …

Inbreeding depression (reduced fitness of individuals with related parents) has long been a
major focus of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Despite decades of research …

The conservation and management of endangered species requires information on their
genetic diversity, relatedness and population structure. The main genetic markers applied …

As species extinction rates increase, genomics provides a powerful tool to support intensive
management of threatened species. We use the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) to …

Both the total amount and the distribution of heterozygous sites within individual genomes
are informative about the genetic diversity of the population they belong to. Detecting true …

Inbreeding can lead to a loss of heterozygosity in a population and when combined with
genetic drift may reduce the adaptive potential of a species. However, there is uncertainty …

There is ample evidence for inbreeding depression manifested as a reduction in fitness or
fitness‐related traits in the focal individual. In many organisms, fitness is not only affected by …

Key message We identified marker-trait associations for key faba bean agronomic traits and
genomic signatures of selection within a global germplasm collection. Abstract Faba bean …

Inbreeding may increase the extinction risk of small populations. Yet, studies using modern
genomic tools to investigate inbreeding depression in nature have been limited to single …

There are genetic risks associated with small population sizes, including loss of genetic
diversity and inbreeding depression. The southern resident killer whale Orcinus orca …
