Abstract excerpt
Estimating the rate of clonal reproduction in natural population of diploid organisms is recognised as being problematic and even the detection of strictly clonal populations is often controversial. One well-acknowledged signature of clonal reproduction is the generation of non-random associations between loci. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is thus often used for estimating the amount of clonal reproduction. Here...
