The 33 pages that link to Inbreeding depression, each with the reason it gives.

• Captive breedingRelated: Limited choice of mates can increase harmful effects of inbreeding.

• Selective breedingRelated: Repeated mating within narrow breeding lines can reduce health and reproductive success.

• Genetic driftRelated: Drift can raise harmful alleles to high frequency in small populations, increasing genetic risks.

• Gene flowRelated: Gene flow can introduce unrelated alleles and reduce inbreeding in small, isolated populations.

• ExtinctionRelated: It can further weaken small, isolated populations already vulnerable to extinction.

• ParthenogenesisRelated: Some parthenogenetic mechanisms raise homozygosity and expose harmful recessive alleles.

• Genetic diversityRelated: Low diversity and inbreeding can raise the expression of harmful genetic variants.

• Conservation geneticsRelated: It links population isolation to measurable declines in fitness.

• Ex situ conservationRelated: Limited founder populations can increase relatedness and reduce reproductive success.

• DispersalRelated: Movement between populations can reduce mating among close relatives.

• Genetic rescueRelated: It is the fitness problem genetic rescue often aims to alleviate.

• Population bottleneckRelated: Bottleneck-driven small populations can become inbred, raising this risk.

• Genetic variationRelated: Low variation and related mating can expose deleterious variants.

• EndogamyRelated: It is a possible genetic consequence when endogamy also entails close-relative marriage over generations.

• Extinction riskRelated: Loss of genetic diversity can make small populations less able to persist.

• Self-incompatibilityRelated: Avoiding inbreeding depression is a major evolutionary benefit of rejecting self pollen.

• HeterozygosityRelated: Loss of heterozygosity can expose recessive variants associated with inbreeding depression.

• Self-pollinationRelated: Repeated selfing can expose harmful recessive variants and lower offspring fitness.

• Extinction vortexRelated: Shrinking populations make related matings more common, weakening population growth.

• Genetic loadRelated: Inbreeding exposes recessive variants that contribute to load.

• Incest tabooRelated: The genetic risks of close-kin reproduction are one proposed basis for prohibitions.

• Species extinctionRelated: It can weaken small, isolated populations nearing extinction.

• Kennel ClubRelated: Closed pedigrees can increase relatedness and expose inherited health risks.

• TranslocationRelated: A small recipient population may benefit from moved individuals, but can also suffer if its diversity remains low.

• Sumatran tigerRelated: Small, isolated tiger groups can face increased genetic risks.

• HeterozygousRelated: Inbreeding can increase homozygosity and reduce heterozygosity across the genome.

• HomozygousRelated: Greater homozygosity can expose deleterious recessive variants.

• Dog crossbreedRelated: It helps explain why crossing populations can sometimes improve particular outcomes.

• Domesticated hedgehogRelated: Limited breeding populations can increase inherited health problems in pet hedgehogs.

• Royal intermarriageRelated: Repeated close-kin marriages in some dynasties raised concerns about inherited health effects.
