Fig. 4From: Statistical analysis in support of maintaining a healthy traditional Siamese cat populationDistribution of kinship values in the current Thai and Siamese populations. a Distribution of pairwise kinship values across all the parents of the Thai kittens, born in 2016–2017 (N=200). The histogram represents the off-diagonal elements of the kinship matrix, i.e. of all kinship coefficients between different individuals and covers values between 0 and 0.55 in 0.001 intervals. The first datapoint at zero kinship was removed to obtain a clearer overview on the data. b Distribution of inbreeding values across the same individuals. The coefficient of inbreeding is calculated from the diagonal elements of the kinship matrix. c Distribution of pairwise kinship values across all the parents of the Siamese kittens, born in 1998-1999 (N=462). The first datapoint at zero kinship was removed to obtain a clearer overview on the data. d Distribution of inbreeding values across the same individualsBack to article page
