Inbreeding Depression and Competition in the square-stemmed monkey-flower (Mimulus ringens)
Matings between biologically related individuals often produce offspring with reduced fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. The magnitude of inbreeding depression can play an important role in determining the overall fitness, and persistence, of populations, and is often considered …

The evolution of self-compatibility and its genetic consequences in Leavenworthia alabamica (Brassicaceae)
The evolution of self-fertilization from the outcrossing condition is a common transition in flowering plants which strongly alters the genetic structure of populations. In general, it is thought that self-fertilization may evolve in response to its innate transmission advantage or pollen …

Behavioral and genomic patterns of evolution during speciation via reproductive and agonistic character displacement
… hybridizing with another species can result in mating trait evolution via reproductive character displacement (RCD). Similarly, selection to avoid aggressive interactions with another species can result in agonistic character displacement (ACD). Both RCD and ACD can lead to a pattern of enhanced …
