Population genomic signatures of founding events in autonomously self-fertilizing plants: a test with Impatiens capensis.

Abstract excerpt

Autonomously self-fertilizing plants possess disproportionate abilities to found populations. Viewed from the metapopulation perspective, founding events should be frequent in such plants, but the intensity and timing of bottlenecks and recovery should vary among populations. We tested the hypothesis that variation in these demographic characteristics in one such species helps to explain variation in levels of...
