This review examines the impact of inbreeding depression on male gametic performance, specifically focusing on sperm and pollen in animals and plants. The authors conducted a meta-analysis of 51 studies, finding that inbreeding generally reduces male gametic performance across various traits, although explicit estimates from wild populations are lacking. The findings suggest that inbreeding depression could have significant implications for evolutionary ecology, mating systems, and conservation biology.
