Genomic-enabled prediction is becoming increasingly important in animal and plant
breeding and is also receiving attention in human genetics. Deriving accurate predictions of …

Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and
outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to …

Many empirical studies have assessed fine‐scale spatial genetic structure (SGS), ie the
nonrandom spatial distribution of genotypes, within plant populations using genetic markers …

There is increasing evidence that human disturbance can negatively impact plant–pollinator
interactions such as outcross pollination. We present a meta-analysis of 22 studies involving …

Comparisons of the causes and consequences of cross–and self–fertilization have
dominated research on plant mating since Darwin's seminal work on plant reproduction …

The theoretical impacts of anthropogenic habitat degradation on genetic resources have
been well articulated. Here we use a simulation approach to assess the magnitude of …

The recent proliferation of hypervariable molecular markers has ushered in a surge of
techniques for the analysis of parentage in natural and experimental populations …

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently
facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures …

Excluding insects, hermaphroditism occurs in about one‐third of animal species, providing
numerous opportunities for the evolution of selfing. Here we provide an overview of …

Nonrandom mating induces correlations in allelic states within and among loci that can be
exploited to understand the genetic structure of natural populations (Wright 1965). For many …
