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.

Population genetic structure in a self‐compatible hermaphroditic snail is driven by drift independently of its contemporary mating system

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70162
Abstract: Abstract Genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection commonly influence population genetic diversity. In populations of self‐compatible hermaphrodites, the mating system (e.g., self‐fertilization) further reduces individual heterozygosity. Furthermore, selfing, as a form of inbreeding, significantly… 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.

Mating system induced lags in rates of range expansion for different simulated mating systems and dispersal strategies: a modelling study

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-023-05492-w
Abstract: Mismatches between current and potential species distributions are commonplace due to lags in the response of populations to changing environmental conditions. The prevailing mating system may contribute to such lags where it leads to mating… read more here.

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.

Reproductive mode and mating system in the invasive wintercreeper vine (Euonymus fortunei) in southwestern Ohio: polyembryony, apomixis, selfing, and outcrossing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Invasive Plant Science and Management"
DOI: 10.1017/inp.2025.10026
Abstract: Abstract Spread of invasive species can be impacted by their mode of reproduction (asexual vs. sexual) as well as the mating system (outcrossing vs. selfing). This is especially the case in the evergreen wintercreeper vine… 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

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.
