Parentage analysis in a free-ranging, closed population of southern white rhinoceros : genetics, pedigrees and management
Small populations of animals are vulnerable to the consequences of breeding within a closed group – inbreeding depression and genetic drift lead to reductions in genetic variability, which in turn can give rise to the amplification of deleterious traits. Traditionally, managers attempt to minimise t...
