Inbreeding depression, or the decreased fitness of progeny derived from self‐fertilization as
compared to outcrossing, is thought to be the most general factor affecting the evolution of …

Inbreeding depression, the decreased fitness of progeny derived from self-fertilization
compared to outcrossing, is affected by the environmental conditions in which it is examined …

In partially self-fertile populations of Blandfordia grandiflora, inbreeding depression and
pollinator abundance were examined as factors influencing the evolution of self-fertility …

Inbreeding depression is a major selective force favoring outcrossing in flowering plants.
Some self‐fertilization, however, should weaken the harmful effects of inbreeding by …

If inbreeding depression is caused by deleterious recessive alleles, as suggested by the
partial dominance hypothesis, a negative correlation between inbreeding and inbreeding …

Abstract Theory predicts that, at equilibrium, the magnitude of inbreeding depression caused
by recessive alleles should decrease as the level of self-fertilization increases, facilitating …

Little is known about how inbreeding depression and maternal effects change from the seed
stage through offspring maturation or how these patterns differ for plants germinated under …

Inbreeding depression is likely to be a common selective force opposing the automatic
selective advantage of self-fertilization in self-compatible plants and animals, yet relatively …

A bimodal distribution of outcrossing rates was observed for natural plant populations, with
more primarily selfing and primarily outcrossing species, and fewer species with …

Inbreeding depression (δ) is a major selective force favoring outcrossing in flowering plants.
Many phenotypic and genetic models of the evolution of selfing conclude that complete …
