Abstract excerpt
Partial clonality is commonly used in eukaryotes and has large consequences for their evolution and ecology. Assessing accurately the relative importance of clonal vs. sexual reproduction matters for studying and managing such species. Here, we proposed a Bayesian approach, ClonEstiMate, to infer rates of clonality c from populations sampled twice over a short time interval, ideally one generation time. The...
