>>14017821I have a text file with a list of papers somewhere never got around to collating it.
I was looking into the subject just before the "pandemic" shit and researching that and esoteric stuff took up my time or I would have properly followed up on the topic.
mutations accrue with every new generation, unless they're getting selected out somehow then they just accumulate and the population gets worse.
historically there was around a 40% mortality before breeding age which purged bad genes now it's less than 1%.
Our mutational load is accelerating collapse.
although that is tangential to the inbreeding/outbreeding issue.
a good resource is the Fort Keogh Livestock Range & Research Laboratory at Miles city Montana and their Line 1 hereford cattle research project
https://kbherefords.com/about/ over 80 year as a closed breeding herd with only 250 females.
