Comparing levels of geitonogamous visitation by honey bees and other pollinators
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Geitonogamy, the transfer of pollen from one flower to another on the same plant, is often the primary means of self-pollination in flowering plants.

Epigenetics, 2022 Hybridization is a major source of evolutionary innovation. In plants, epigenetic mechanisms can help to stabilize hybrid genomes and contribute to reproductive isolation, but the relationship between genetic and epigenetic changes in animal hybrids is ...

Balancing selection in self‐fertilizing populations [PDF]
Evolution, 2021 Self-fertilization commonly occurs in hermaphroditic species, either occasionally or as the main reproductive mode. It strongly affects the genetic functioning of a population by increasing homozygosity and genetic drift and reducing the effectiveness of recombination.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Fertilization is one of the most important events in living organisms to generate a new life with a mixed genetic background. To achieve successful fertilization, sperm and eggs must undergo complex processes in a sequential order.

Flaminia, a self-incompatible peach variety: Short communication
Horticultural Science, 2003 This study showed that the peach variety Flaminia is self-incompatible in Northern Greece, and it produces fruits only after cross fertilization.

A general stochastic model for sporophytic self-incompatibility [PDF]
, 2011 Disentangling the processes leading populations to extinction is a major topic in ecology and conservation biology. The difficulty to find a mate in many species is one of these processes.

Asymmetrical hybridization and gene flow between Eisenia andrei and E. fetida lumbricid earthworms [PDF]
, 2018 Uniformly pigmented Eisenia andrei (Ea) and striped E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are hermaphrodites capable of self-fertilization, cross-fertilization, and asymmetrical hybridization.

Purging deleterious mutations under self fertilization: paradoxical recovery in fitness with increasing mutation rate in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The accumulation of deleterious mutations can drastically reduce population mean fitness. Self-fertilization is thought to be an effective means of purging deleterious mutations. However, widespread linkage disequilibrium generated and maintained by self-
