Inbreeding depression for kit survival at birth in a rabbit population under long-term selection

BACKGROUND: Accumulation of detrimental mutations in small populations leads to inbreeding depression of fitness traits and a higher frequency of genetic defects, thus increasing risk of extinction. Our objective was to quantify the magnitude of inbreeding depression for survival at birth, in a clos...
