Effects of partial selfing on the equilibrium genetic variance, mutation load, and inbreeding depression under stabilizing selection.

Abstract excerpt

The mating system of a species is expected to have important effects on its genetic diversity. In this article, we explore the effects of partial selfing on the equilibrium genetic variance Vg , mutation load L, and inbreeding depression δ under stabilizing selection acting on a arbitrary number n of quantitative traits coded by biallelic loci with additive effects. When the U/n ratio is low (where U is the total...
