Process-explicit models reveal the structure and dynamics of biodiversity patterns
With ever-growing data availability and computational power at our disposal, we now have
the capacity to use process-explicit models more widely to reveal the ecological and …

Evolutionary consequences of self-fertilization in plants
The transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization is one of the most common evolutionary
changes in plants, yet only about 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly selfing. To …

populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

The relative importance of reproductive assurance and automatic selection as hypotheses for the evolution of self-fertilization
Background The field of plant mating-system evolution has long been interested in
understanding why selfing evolves from outcrossing. Many possible mechanisms drive this …

Analysis of inbreeding depression in mixed‐mating plants provides evidence for selective interference and stable mixed mating
Hermaphroditic individuals can produce both selfed and outcrossed progeny, termed mixed
mating. General theory predicts that mixed‐mating populations should evolve quickly toward …
