Genetic load proxies do not predict fitness better than inbreeding does in a wild population

Diana A. Robledo‐Ruiz, Paul Sunnucks, Bruce R. Quin, Michael J. L. Magrath, Dan K. P. Harley, Alexandra Pavlova

The paper tests if genetic load proxies predict fitness better than inbreeding in a wild population and finds inbreeding metrics perform better.

Purging of highly deleterious alleles through an extreme bottleneck

Oliver P. Stuart, Rohan Cleave, Kate Pearce, Michael J. L. Magrath, Alexander S. Mikheyev

The paper analyzes genetic diversity in wild and captive-bred populations of the Lord Howe Island stick insect to test if extreme inbreeding following a population bottleneck purges deleterious alleles.
