Consequences of clonality for sexual fitness: Clonal expansion enhances fitness under spatially restricted dispersal.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Jul 2015

Van Drunen Wendy E, van Kleunen Mark, Dorken Marcel E

Abstract excerpt

Clonality is a pervasive feature of sessile organisms, but this form of asexual reproduction is thought to interfere with sexual fitness via the movement of gametes among the modules that comprise the clone. This within-clone movement of gametes is expected to reduce sexual fitness via mate limitation of male reproductive success and, in some cases, via the production of highly inbred (i.e., self-fertilized)...
