Abstract excerpt
Previous investigations of natural populations of the hermaphroditic, self-fertilizing fish species Rivulus marmoratus demonstrated a surprising amount of interclonal differentiation among highly polymorphic "DNA fingerprint" loci. The genetic differentiation observed among clones was thought to be the effect of extreme population mixing because of high rates of migration and population extinction. It was...
