Inbreedi
Inbreedi refers to the practice or outcome of mating between individuals who are closely related, leading to higher genetic relatedness between the parents and a greater proportion of the offspring’s genome identical by descent. In many contexts the term is used interchangeably with inbreeding, though some discussions distinguish the mating pattern from its genetic consequences.
The main genetic effect of inbreedi is increased homozygosity across the genome. This can reveal recessive
Contexts for inbreedi vary. In natural populations, occasional inbreedi can occur in fragmented or tiny groups.
Measurement and management of inbreedi rely on tools such as the inbreeding coefficient (F) and runs of
