Latitudinal trends in mating system traits in the highly self‐fertilizing Lobelia inflata revealed by community science [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Mating systems in angiosperms range from obligate outcrossing to highly self‐fertilizing. The belief that obligate selfing does not exist is contradicted by genetic evidence in several populations of L.

Genome Sequencing Providing Molecular Evidence of Tetrapolar Mating System and Heterothallic Life Cycle for Edible and Medicinal Mushroom Polyporus umbellatus Fr. [PDF]
Journal of FungiPolyporus umbellatus is a species whose sclerotia have been extensively employed in traditional Chinese medicine, which has diuretic, antitumor, anticancer, and immune system enhancement properties. However, prolonged asexual reproduction has resulted in

An atypical mating system in a neotropical manakin [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Most of the diversity in the mating systems of birds and other animals comes at higher taxonomic levels, such as across orders. Although divergent selective pressures should lead to animal mating systems that diverge sharply from those of close relatives,

Social mating system and sex-biased dispersal in mammals and birds: a phylogenetic analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The hypothesis that patterns of sex-biased dispersal are related to social mating system in mammals and birds has gained widespread acceptance over the past 30 years.

A deviation from the bipolar-tetrapolar mating paradigm in an early diverged basidiomycete. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 In fungi, sexual identity is determined by specialized genomic regions called MAT loci which are the equivalent to sex chromosomes in some animals and plants.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Although mixed mating systems involving both selfing and outcrossing are fairly common in hermaphrodites, the mechanisms maintaining mixed mating are still unknown in many cases. In some species, individuals that have not yet found a mating partner delay

Inbreeding avoidance drives consistent variation of fine-scale genetic structure caused by dispersal in the seasonal mating system of Brandt's voles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Inbreeding depression is a major evolutionary and ecological force influencing population dynamics and the evolution of inbreeding-avoidance traits such as mating systems and dispersal.

Mendelian inheritance of introrse orientated anthers in Brassica rapa
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2022 The inheritance of anther orientation of 154 individuals from two B1 populations of Brassica rapa (syn. Brassica campestris) was evaluated under controlled conditions in a greenhouse.
