Fitness consequences of outcrossing in a social spider with an inbreeding mating system.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2014

Berger-Tal Reut, Tuni Cristina, Lubin Yael, Smith Deborah, Bilde Trine

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding mating systems are uncommon because of inbreeding depression. Mating among close relatives can evolve, however, when outcrossing is constrained. Social spiders show obligatory mating among siblings. In combination with a female-biased sex ratio, sib-mating results in small effective populations. In such a system, high genetic homozygosity is expected, and drift may cause population divergence. We...
