Genomic signatures of inbreeding in a critically endangered parrot, the kākāpō

AbstractEvents of inbreeding are inevitable in critically endangered species. Reduced population sizes and unique life-history traits can increase the severity of inbreeding, leading to declines in fitness and increased risk of extinction. Here, we investigate levels of inbreeding in a critically en...
