Inbreeding coefficients are reported for all members of the isolated Havasupai tribe of northern Arizona (USA), based upon pedigrees which are as deep as eight generations. Because inbreeding has been repeatedly shown to reduce developmental homeostasis in a large number of species, we ask if the degree of inbreeding in the Havasupai is associated with reduced developmental stability. Fluctuating asymmetry in two dermatoglyphic traits suggests that inbreeding significantly compromises developmental homeostasis in this population.
根据可追溯至八代的谱系，报告了美国亚利桑那州北部与世隔绝的哈瓦苏派部落所有成员的近交系数。由于近亲繁殖已被反复证明会降低大量物种的发育稳态，我们探究哈瓦苏派的近亲繁殖程度是否与发育稳定性降低有关。两个皮肤纹理特征的波动不对称表明，近亲繁殖显著损害了该群体的发育稳态。
