I am taking this out of "needs to be cleaned up" because I think I've cleaned it up fairly well. [[User:128.101.70.96|128.101.70.96]] 15:21, 21 October 2005 (UTC)lotusduck

To me this seems to be the opposite of [[hibrid vigor]], but I am niave on this subject. If this is correct, probably worthadding to the article. [[User:Ike9898|ike9898]] 04:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:Not really - "[[hybrid vigour]]" is a function of increased levels of heterozygosity in a population. Inbreeding depression comes from an increased frequency of deleterious alleles in a small population ''or'' from increased homozygosity in recessive deleterious alleles.

== Possible Vandalism ==

"Residents of Vlotho, Germany". I am assuming good faith, since it is added with an other entry, but can someone confirm this? [[User:Asm82|Asm82]] 17:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:I assumed bad faith, but more importantly, since it's not a wikilink, it's useless to users. Plus, they f'ed up the formatting with their addition, which smells like vandalism. Ergo, I removed it. If they really feel strongly about it, they can post it on the talk page. [[User:WLU|WLU]] 01:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

== Taxonomic bias: This article seems to mostly be concerned with (vertebrate) animals ==
Which is unfortunate since ID seems rather ubiquitous and is especially important in the study of the evolution of plant mating system. (Most plants being hermaphrodite, often with male and female function placed in the same flower).

== Taxa not suffering from ID ? ==
Hmm, looks like this is animals - most examples, anyway, that have gone through a severe bottleneck and survived. Isn't the usual way to investigate ID to produce some inbred and some outbred lines and compare their fitnesses? How, is one to do this in a species where there is only one line? Even though this line seems to do well it may not be in mutation-selection balance?
Anyway, seems like this section takes up to much space in this article.
