DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1158
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Nursery pollination systems can range from obligate to facultative. In a system where generalists provide substantial pollination service, an important question is whether the cost of seed predation outweighs the benefit… read more here.

The ontogeny of the female reproductive system in the parasitic castrator pea crab Calyptraeotheres garthi: Implications for its mating system
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Morphology"
DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20786
Abstract: The knowledge of the mating system of pea crabs is still fragmentary as it remains dubious whether females copulate in the juvenile and free‐living ‘hard’ or in the obligatory symbiotic stages (adult stage ‘V’ or… read more here.

Are tree breeders properly predicting genetic gain? A case study involving Corymbia species

DOI: 10.1007/s10681-018-2229-9
Abstract: The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in breeding programs is important to ensure efficient selection. In this context, knowledge of the mating system is critical, as it underpins assumptions about inter-relatedness on which variance component… read more here.

Hanging out in tents: social structure, group stability, male behavior, and their implications for the mating system of Ectophylla alba (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-018-0383-z
Abstract: Bats show the greatest variety of mating strategies in mammals. Social structure can be influenced by roost characteristics, for example, if the roost is defendable and its availability limited, it becomes an important resource that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/hdy.2016.99
Abstract: The genetic breakdown of self-incompatibility (SI) and subsequent mating system shifts to inbreeding has intrigued evolutionary geneticists for decades. Most of our knowledge is derived from interspecific comparisons between inbreeding species and their outcrossing relatives,… read more here.

Effects of contemporary shifts of range margins on patterns of genetic structure and mating system in two coastal plant species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Heredity"
DOI: 10.1038/s41437-019-0269-0
Abstract: Species’ geographical ranges are often restricted due to niche limitation resulting in geographical isolation and reduced population size at range margins. Under the “abundant center” paradigm, static marginal populations are thus expected to show higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac044
Abstract: Abstract Background and Aims Self-fertilization is often associated with ecological traits corresponding to the ruderal strategy, and selfers are expected to be less competitive than outcrossers, either because of a colonization/competition trade-off or because of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arab011
Abstract: Abstract Domestication has greatly changed the social and reproductive behavior of dogs relative to that of wild members of the genus Canis, which typically exhibit social monogamy and extended parental care. Unlike a typical gray… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arac014
Abstract: Abstract Sex-bias in breeding dispersal is considered the norm in many taxa, and the magnitude and direction of such sex-bias is expected to correlate with the social mating system. We used local return rates in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12337
Abstract: The frugivorous “true” fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Queensland fruit fly), is presumed to have a nonresourced‐based lek mating system. This is largely untested, and contrary data exists to suggest Bactrocera tryoni may have a resource‐based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12309
Abstract: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are seasonal breeders, annually migrating from high‐latitude summer feeding grounds to low‐latitude winter breeding grounds. The social matrix on the winter grounds is a loose network of interacting individuals and groups… read more here.
