Effects from inbreeding depression in free-ranging wolves may include a correlation between survival of pups during their first winter and inbreeding coefficients (Liberg et al., 2005), lesions (Raikkonen et al., 2006), low litter and pack sizes (Fredrickson et al., 2007), and congenital bone deformities (Raikkonen et al., 2009).

The low number of introduced organisms at the beginning of the invasion and the so-called population bottlenecks will reduce genetic diversity and increase inbreeding, which can lead to inbreeding depression and in some introductions to the extinction of the invader.
