Abstract excerpt
I used parallel family-structured crossing designs to investigate the relative performance of self and outcross progeny in selfing and predominantly outcrossing populations of the annual plant Arenaria uniflora. The selfer population experienced much lower inbreeding depression (delta = 0.05 +/- 0.02 SE) than the outcrossers (delta = 0.19 +/- 0.02 SE). The negative association between genetic load and selfing...
