DOI: 10.1007/s00300-018-2258-9
Abstract: Mating patterns are highly context-dependent and the outcome of selection pressures formed by ecological factors, inbreeding levels and access to available partners. In small and inbred populations, matings are limited by high kin encounter rates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.221547
Abstract: Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Hawaiian archipelago form a small and genetically isolated population, consisting of only a few tens of individuals breeding annually. Most females nest on the island of Hawai'i, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1163/15707563-bja10035
Abstract: Exploring the mechanisms that affect mating pattern with respect to body size has implications for understanding the evolution of sexual selection. Theory predicts that the absence of a relationship between female body size and fecundity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1027209
Abstract: One goal in the population genetics of autopolyploids, which are organisms with more than two sets of homologous chromosomes, is to model their genotype frequencies. This modeling presents a greater challenge in autopolyploids than in… read more here.
