The influence of inbreeding depression on the stability of a small insular population : modeling inbreeding-stress interactions

I investigated the potential for inbreeding to increase variability in the population trajectory of a small insular population. Increased stochastic variability in population size increases extinction risk, especially in small populations, and is therefore of interest in conservation biology. Inb...
