Abstract
A population of wild mice in Peru was sampled three times over a period of 20 years. Inbreeding from each sample has shown the population to carry an unusually high frequency of visible mutants and nesting lethais. Preliminary evidence of chromosomal damage suggests and inherited tendency to some form of genetic instability.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
