Microsatellite variation and evolution in the Mimulus guttatus species complex with contrasting mating systems.
Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 1997

Abstract excerpt
Mutational variability at microsatellite loci is shaped by both population history and the mating system. In turn, alternate mating systems in flowering plants can resolve aspects of microsatellite loci evolution. Five species of yellow monkeyflowers (Mimulus sect. Simiolis) differing for historical rates of inbreeding were surveyed for variation at six microsatellite loci. High levels of diversity at these loci...
