The best of both worlds? A review of delayed selfing in flowering plants
C Goodwillie, JJ Weber - American Journal of Botany, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Premise of Study In a seminal body of theory, Lloyd showed that the fitness consequences of
selfing will depend on its timing in anthesis. Selfing that occurs after opportunities for …
