Description:
Juvenile mortality of inbred young was higher than that of noninbred young in 15 of 16 species of captive ungulates. In 19 of 25 individual females, belonging to ten species, a larger percentage of young died when the female was mated to a related male than when she was mated to an unrelated male.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ralls, K -- Brugger, K -- Ballou, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Nov 30;206(4422):1101-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/493997" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
