Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Partially clonal organisms are very common in nature, yet the influence of partial asexuality on the temporal dynamics of genetic diversity remains poorly understood. Mathematical models accounting for clonality predict deviations only for extremely rare sex and only towards mean inbreeding coefficient [Formula: see text]. Yet in partially clonal species, both F IS < 0 and F IS > 0 are frequently...
