Abstract excerpt

The mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus, is one of only two self-fertilizing hermaphroditic fish species and inhabits mangrove forests. While selfing can be advantageous, it reduces heterozygosity and decreases genetic diversity. Studies using microsatellites found that there are variable levels of selfing among populations of K. marmoratus, but overall, there is a low rate of outcrossing and, therefore,...
