Funded Activity Summary

Testing current methods for understanding and mitigating inbreeding depression in conservation. Although inbreeding can have serious implications for endangered species, possibly even hastening extinction, the methods currently used to measure inbreeding and reverse its effects have been largely untested. This project will explicitly test the utility of these methods to ensure inbreeding is managed effectively in conservation.
