| [Definition] Inbreeding increases homozygous genotypes. Together with general tendencies for deleterious alleles to be recessive, this provides the basis of adverse effects. Inbreeding often leads to a reduction in viability and fertility. |

| Inbreeding and Juvenile Mortality. In captive population Rhinoceros unicornis, 1981-1990
Independent of parity, inbred and non-inbed animals did not differ in juvenile mortality (inbred 8 %, n=24; non-inbred: 22 %, n=77, ?=0.18, df=1, P>0.1).
Calves with inbreeding coefficient >0.25 appeared ... |

| Individuals with inbreeding coefficient of zero were classified as 'non-inbred', those with an inbreeding coefficient greater than zero as 'inbred'. The terms non-inbred and inbred are relative and levels of inbreeding can only be quantified in respect to a base population. |

Black Rhino

| To determine the vulnerability status of South African black rhinoceros populations it was necessary to study black rhino population biology. Since population genetics and population demography are the two main themes of population biology, the aim of this project was to investigate both of thes... |

White Rhino

| In 1892 the southern white was thought to be extinct but fortunately approximately 50-100 animals survived the cull in the Umfolozi Valleys. It is interesting to note that, although the current white and black rhino populations of South Africa originate from a handful of surviving animals, the g... |
