Multilocus estimation of selfing and its heritability.
Heredity - 1 Sept 2012
McClure N S, Whitlock M C
Abstract excerpt
We describe a new method of estimating the selfing rate (S) in a mixed mating population based on a population structure approach that accounts for possible intergenerational correlation in selfing rate, giving rise to an estimate of the upper limit for heritability of selfing rate (h2). A correlation between generations in selfing rate is shown to affect one- and two-locus probabilities of identity by descent....
