Population genetic diversity and fitness in multiple environments
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>When a large number of alleles are lost from a population, increases in individual homozygosity may reduce individual fitness through inbreeding depression. Modest losses of allelic diversity may also negatively impact long-term popu...
