Sex-specific consequences of recent inbreeding in a ancestrally inbred population of New Zealand Takahe
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on inbred population of New Zealand Takahe. The hypothesis that inbreeding on the islands csn have undetectable fitness consequences, and the authors discuss the results in the light of inbreeding effects on other populations of birds.

Loss of genetic variation in Greater Prairie Chichens following a population bottleneck in Wisconsin, U.S.A
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on populations of the Greater Prairie Chichen which has gone extinct in North America. Results demonstrate that the loss of genetic variation has no evidene of a reduction in batching success.

Risks from competitively inferior immigrant populations: implications of mass effects for species conservation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on inferior immigrant populations. The authors have investigated the effect of these populations on competitively superior wild species in terms of decline risk, and they report the results.
