Abstract: Estimating effective population size (Ne) is important for theoretical and practical applications in evolutionary biology and conservation. Nevertheless, estimates of Ne in organisms with complex life‐history traits remain scarce because of the challenges associated with… read more here.

Abstract: Why species that in their core areas mainly reproduce sexually become enriched with clones in marginal populations ("geographic parthenogenesis") remains unclear. Earlier hypotheses have emphasized that selection might promote clonality because it protects locally adapted… read more here.
