The latter would, in other words, suggest a breeding system with high biodiversity and various evolutionary significant units.

Prior to progeny sampling for the estimation of Neb, eight generations of random mating with a breeding system defined below were simulated to accumulate inbreeding and relationship.

In such circumstances, selection should favour a breeding system where both adults are genetically related to the offspring (Trivers 1972; Clutton-Brock 1991).
