Inbreeding load, B, is the slope of log-transformed offspring fitness of compatible within-population crosses against parental kinship coefficient, calculated for each population. Inbreeding depression in each population is δ = 1 − e−B×F (Keller and Waller 2002), where F represents mean relatedness of all randomly performed crosses (incompatible crosses excluded). Differences in drift load are based on the comparison of mean fitness between equally outbred offspring. Fitness estimates are clonal and sexual offspring performance of crosses within populations, with results for the separate life-stage fitness components presented in italics. Underlining indicates P-values < 0.1 (N = 13).
