Abstract: Abstract Microsatellite loci were used to assess pollen contamination and mating patterns in an Eucalyptus urophylla seedling seed orchard (SO2) along with inbreeding and outbreeding depression in a second generation progeny test (PT2) established with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes10110851
Abstract: Small and isolated populations are subject to the loss of genetic variation as a consequence of inbreeding and genetic drift, which in turn, can affect the fitness and long-term viability of populations. Translocations can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.62587
Abstract: Mating systems have profound effects on genetic diversity and compatibility. The convergent evolution of self-fertilization in three Caenorhabditis species provides a powerful lens to examine causes and consequences of mating system transitions. Among the selfers,… read more here.
