Inbreeding effects in wild populations
USA. Small and isolated populations are inherently more vulnerable to external environmental perturbations and chance fluctuations in local survival and fecundity [termed ‘ENVIRONMENTAL STOCHASTICITY’ and ‘DEMOGRAPHIC STOCHASTICITY’, respectively (see Glossary)]. Are they also threatened by inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity? With data on the effects of inbreeding in wild populations ...
متن کاملCaptive wild animal nutrition: a historical perspective.
Proper feeding management of wild animals in captivity incorporates both husbandry skills and applied nutritional sciences. As a basic foundation of animal management, nutrition is integral to longevity, disease prevention, growth and reproduction, yet has received insufficient focus in the zoological community, although somewhat more detailed attention has been paid to free-ranging wildlife, p...

متن کاملGenomic Inbreeding and Relatedness in Wild Panda Populations
Inbreeding and relatedness in wild panda populations are important parameters for panda conservation. Habitat loss and fragmentation are expected to increase inbreeding but the actual inbreeding levels in natural panda habitats were unknown. Using 150,025 SNPs and 14,926 SNPs selected from published whole-genome sequences, we estimated genomic inbreeding coefficients and relatedness of 49 panda...
متن کاملScience-based assessment of animal welfare: wild and captive animals.
Science-based assessment of animal welfare in wild and captive animals has, during the past ten years, benefited from increased interest in and research into consciousness, emotions, stress and pain. Because it is impossible to make a detailed physiological study in free-living animals, reliance must be placed on behaviour and Darwinian fitness, which have been shown to correlate to welfare. On...
