Although inbreeding can have serious implications for endangered species, possibly even hastening extinction, the methods currently used to measure inbreeding and reverse its effects have been largely untested. This project will explicitly test the utility of these methods to ensure inbreeding is managed effectively in conservation.

尽管近亲繁殖会对濒危物种产生严重影响，甚至可能加速灭绝，但目前用于测量近亲繁殖并逆转其影响的方法在很大程度上尚未经过测试。该项目将明确测试这些方法的效用，以确保在保护中有效地管理近亲繁殖。
