  1. How Critically Endangered Kākāpō Survived Centuries Of Inbreeding

    "Analysis of entire genomes from New Zealand’s critically endangered, flightless parrots found they carry exceptionally few harmful genetic mutations despite 10,000 years of inbreeding. How did they manage this?"

  7. Ornamental traits play a central role in sexual selection. Gussone et al. identify sources of phenotypic variation in ornamental traits by showing that inbreeding and genetic relatedness of rivals affect the dynamic colour-expression in competing males in a cichlid fish.

  15. Hulke & Criscione find that high selfing rates for a trematode can be explained solely by demography. Using demographic estimates of selfing showed no evidence for inbreeding depression. They test a theory for why parasites maintain complex life cycles. Read now ahead of print!

  17. DNA analysis reveals child sacrifice and elite inbreeding in ancient Mexico

    A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence of close relative mating among the elite classes in precontact Mexico. Located in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, Paquimé, also known as Casas Grandes, was a significant political and ritual hub of the Mogollon culture during the 13th and 14th centuries CE...

    "The fact that they're retaining that genetic diversity is a really good sign for their future. We're not losing genetic diversity as fast as we might otherwise. But we don't know why."

  20. #DNA from #mammoth remains reveals the history of the last surviving population
    A small group of #woollymammoths became trapped on Wrangel Island around 10,000 years ago when rising sea levels separated the island from mainland #Siberia. Small, isolated populations of animals lead to #inbreeding and #genetic defects, and it has long been thought that the Wrangel Island #mammoths ultimately succumbed to this problem about 4,000 years ago.

  21. 💡 In the latest #insilicotalks, SIB Member Eléonore Lavanchy explains how introducing a mixed model with an allele-sharing-based relatedness matrix into #inbreeding depression calculation allows for a more efficient estimation in structured #populations.
