Distribution of litter size across generations. The inbreeding generations lose the extreme litter size values observed in the G2:F1s, indicating that no recessive allele produces this value. When such a phenomenon is observed in inbreeding lines relative to a natural population, the result is attributable to overdominance as a mechanism of inbreeding depression.
