Data from: First evidence of deviation from Mendelian proportions in a conservation program
Catherine Grueber, Katherine Farquharson, Belinda Wright, Graham Wallis, Carolyn J. Hogg & Katherine Belov
Classic Mendelian inheritance is the bedrock of population genetics and underpins pedigree-based management of animal populations. However, assumptions of Mendelian inheritance might not be upheld in conservation breeding programs if early viability selection occurs, even when efforts are made to equalise genetic contributions of breeders. To test this possibility, we investigated deviations from Mendelian proportions in a captive meta-population of the endangered Tasmanian devil. This marsupial population is ideal for addressing evolutionary questions in conservation...
