Evidence of an Absence of Inbreeding Depression in a Wild Population of Weddell Seals (<i>Leptonychotes weddellii</i>)

Evidence of an Absence of Inbreeding Depression in a Wild Population of Weddell Seals (<i>Leptonychotes weddellii</i>)

Inbreeding depression can reduce the viability of wild populations. Detecting inbreeding depression in the wild is difficult; developing accurate estimates of inbreeding can be time and labor intensive. In this study, we used a two-step modeling procedure to incorporate uncertainty inherent in estim...
