Variation in self-compatibility among genotypes and across ontogeny in a self-fertilizing vertebrate, Kryptolebias marmoratus.

Abstract excerpt

Mixed-mating strategies can maximize the benefits and limit the costs of both self-fertilization and outcrossing. In addition to ecological conditions and population dynamics, the economics of mixed mating are determined by individual self-compatibility, i.e. the proportion of self-fertilization events that result in viable offspring. In gynodioecious (hermaphrodites and females) and androdioecious...
