Over the last few years I have developed a rather unusual ritual when checking into a hostel or hotel. Upon entering the room I carefully place my belongings at its centre and move to the bed. I lift up the mattress and slowly inspect its edges, making sure no cracks go unsurveyed. Once I've completed the circuit I move to the bedframe, then check behind the headboard, before finally examining any remaining furniture.
Abstract Inbreeding (mating between relatives) is a major concern for conservation as it decreases individual fitness and can increase the risk of population extinction. We used whole-genome resequencing of 97 grey wolves (Canis lupus) from the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf population to identify ‘identical-by-descent’ (IBD) chromosome segments as runs of homozygosity (ROH).
