On the expected relationship between inbreeding, fitness, and extinction
<p>Abstract</p> <p>We assessed the expected relationship between the level and the cost of inbreeding, measured either in terms of fitness, inbreeding depression or probability of extinction. First, we show that the assumption of frequent, slightly deleterious mutations do agree wi...
