Exploration of molecular methods for detecting individual inbreeding levels in mimulus

Inbreeding directly affects fitness and population dynamics by way of inbreeding depression and is particularly prevalent in plants and in small populations. While the importance of measuring fitness and inbreeding levels in natural populations is clear, it is difficult to do in practice. As an alte...
