An inbreeding perspective on the effectiveness of wildlife population defragmentation measures – a case study on wild boar (Sus scrofa) of Veluwe, The Netherlands
Pervasive inbreeding is a major genetic threat of population fragmentation and can undermine the efficacy of population connectivity measures. Nevertheless, few studies have evaluated whether wildlife crossings can alleviate the frequency and length of genomic autozygous segments. Here, we provided a genomic inbreeding perspective on the potential effectiveness of mammal population defragmentation measures. We applied a SNP-genotyping case study on the ~2500 wild boar Sus scrofa population of Veluwe, The Netherlands, a 1000-km 2 Natura 2000 protected area with many fences and roads but also, i...
