«Today, we have 700 to 750 individuals of the species,» says Martin, «but if action is not taken now, the white - headed duck could soon be outbred by the invading ruddy duck, and wiped out in Spain, the only Western European country with a viable population.»
This outbreeding depression suggests that even low levels of admixture may have negative effects on fitness in the wild and that policies protecting hybridized populations may need reconsideration.
Hybridization can reduce fitness by either introducing alleles to a population that are not suited to the local environment (extrinsic outbreeding depression) or disrupting co-adapted gene complexes (intrinsic outbreeding depression)(Templeton 1986).
For example, previous reports have stated that genetic diversity in gerbil populations is relatively low, but these reports are biased by divergence in the «outbred» population being studied.
The Diversity Outbred (DO) population is a heterozygous mouse stock that may be used for high - resolution mapping of genetic loci linked to disease susceptibility, drug resistance or behavioral phenotypes.

However, internal relatedness (IR) and adjusted IR (IRVD) values demonstrated that a number of individuals were the offspring of parents that were either more inbred or outbred than the population as a whole.
