Addressing Darwin's dilemma: can pseudo-overdominance explain persistent inbreeding depression and load?
DM Waller - Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Darwin spent years investigating the effects of self-fertilization, concluding that “nature
abhors perpetual self-fertilization.” Given that selection purges inbred populations of strongly …
