Dicliny in Bouteloua (Poaceae: Chloridoideae): Implications for the Evolution of Dioecy [PDF]
, 2007 The New World grass genus Bouteloua (Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae) comprises 57 species, 13 of which produce unisexual spikelets and hence are diclinous. Andromonoecy, gynodioecy, monoecy, trimonoecy, and dioecy all occur in the genus, and ten species are ...

Mating system, sex ratio, and persistence of females in the gynodioecious shrub Daphne laureola L. (Thymelaeaceae) [PDF]
, 2004 Although in gynodioecious populations male steriles require a fecundity advantage to compensate for their gametic disadvantage, southern Spanish populations of the long-lived shrub Daphne laureola do not show any fecundity advantage over hermaphrodites ...

Hermaphrodite life history and the maintenance of partial selfing in experimental populations of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2014 Classic population genetics theory predicts that mixed reproductive systems, where self reproduction (selfing) and outcrossing co-exist, should not be as common as they are in nature. One means of reconciling theory with observations is to recognize that

Sex and Size in Cosexual Plants [PDF]
, 1997 There are conceptual and practical difficulties in measuring the exact shape of fitness-gain curves and sex allocation, and these hamper empirical testing of some of the predictions of sex allocation theory for plants.

Immune-Related Transcriptional Responses to Parasitic Infection in a Naturally Inbred Fish: Roles of Genotype and Individual Variation [PDF]
, 2018 Parasites are strong drivers of evolutionary change and the genetic variation of both host and parasite populations can co-evolve as a function of parasite virulence and host resistance.

Utilisation de la PCR-RFLP sur de l'ADN chloro-plastique pour l'étude des relations phylogénétiques au sein du genre Phaseolus [PDF]
, 1998 Phylogenetic relationships among 74 accessions belonging to six species of Phaseolus are investigated using variation in chloroplast DNA assessed according to a PCR-RFLP protocol. Three fragments of chloroplast DNA are amplified using universal primers,

Chemosensory adaptations in Caenorhabditis males during the establishment of androdioecy
Biology LettersCaenorhabditis elegans has evolved from its dioecious ancestors to adopt an androdioecious reproductive strategy. In this process, ancestral female C. elegans acquired genetic modifications that enabled self-sperm generation, self-sperm activation and a reduced reliance on
