-Hello all, this is with the purpose for avoid ((if may be possible)) too much inbreeding which may cause ((for say)): lacking nymphs, infertility, propensity to ill states not so common viewed on strong genetic mantid-individuals, an so on...

-An example of these facts was happened in europe with their captive populations of "Giant Prickly Stick Insect" ((Extatosoma tiaratum)), a phasmid which actually suffer there for inbreeding cultures.

-So, the beginning-point may be to have all the records of the origin of each individual and ootheca, etc ((sure a laborious task)), but principally the breeders will have almost a secure view of the best genetic resources for their next couple-pairs without worries about inbreeding them, etc.

-Please opinions about it. Thanks, best regards. Roberto.

 
Sounds like a good idea to me. Let's make sure that this database actually gets compiled rather than have it everywhere on this forum thread.
