Clonal erosion and genetic drift in cyclical parthenogens--the interplay between neutral and selective processes.
Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2010
Vanoverbeke J, De Meester L
Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of alternating phases of clonal and sexual reproduction may strongly impact the interplay between neutral and selective genetic variation in populations. Using a physiologically structured model of the life history of Daphnia, we investigated to what extent clonal erosion associated with selection during the clonal phase affects the genetic structure as observed by neutral markers. Incorporating...
