of local genetic neighbourhoods and shapes the opportunities for natural selection and
genetic drift. A critical question is how together these two processes influence the
evolutionary dynamics of local populations. To assess the respective contributions of pollen
and seed flow, we propose a novel indirect assessment of the separate male and female
gametic contributions to total effective parental size (Ne), based on parental correlations …
For plant populations, gene movement through pollen and seed dispersal governs the size
of local genetic neighbourhoods and shapes the opportunities for natural selection and
genetic drift. A critical question is how together these two processes influence the
evolutionary dynamics of local populations. To assess the respective contributions of pollen
and seed flow, we propose a novel indirect assessment of the separate male and female
gametic contributions to total effective parental size (Ne), based on parental correlations …
