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 …

Is self‐fertilization an evolutionary dead end?
A compound hypothesis positing that self‐fertilization is an evolutionary dead end conflates
two distinct claims: the transition from outcrossing to selfing is unidirectional; and the …

Balancing selection maintains hyper-divergent haplotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans
Across diverse taxa, selfing species have evolved independently from outcrossing species
thousands of times. The transition from outcrossing to selfing decreases the effective …
