Is Pairing with a Relative Heritable? : Estimating Female and Male Genetic Contributions to the Degree of Biparental Inbreeding in Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia)

We thank the Tsawout and Tseycum First Nation bands for access to Mandarte, everyone who contributed to the long-term data collection, and the European Research Council and Royal Society for funding. We thank J.D. Hadfield, P. Bijma, E. Postma, and L.F. Keller for illuminatingdiscussions. Also, L.E.B. Kruuk, R. Bonduriansky, and an anonymous reviewer provided insightful comments that improved the manuscript.
