The evolution of haplodiploidy under inbreeding.
Heredity - 1 Feb 2000
Smith N G
Abstract excerpt
Although haplodiploid organisms tend to be inbred, previous models of the evolution of haplodiploidy have assumed outbred populations. Here a model for the evolution of haplodiploidy is developed which incorporates sib mating, deleterious mutations generated by mutation, and fitness differences between haploids and diploids. Simulations of the model allow an assessment of the effect of inbreeding on the...
