Mating Consequences of Polyploid Evolution in Flowering Plants: Current Trends and Insights from Synthetic Polyploids (2008, background): “…on polyploidy and mating systems focuses on how genome duplication affects the fitness costs of selfing, specifically inbreeding depression, defined as the reduced fitness of offspring derived from selfing compared with outcrossing (Charlesworth and Charlesworth 1987; Goodwillie et al. 2005).”
Death without sex—the ‘problem of the small’ and selection for reproductive economy in flowering plants (2008, background): “Also, the majority of angiosperm species have at least some degree of selfing, including through mixed mating (Goodwillie et al. 2005), and smaller species (e.g. annuals) generally have a higher mean selfing rate than larger species (e.g. herbaceous and woody perennials) (Barrett et al. 1997); the…”
The Ecology of Mating and Its Evolutionary Consequences in Seed Plants (2017, background): “Indeed, studies of seed-plant mating have historically focused on the relative frequency of cross- and self-fertilization, and this frequency has been widely used to depict plant mating systems (Goodwillie et al. 2005).”
A meta-analysis of the relation between mating system, growth form and genotypic diversity in clonal plant species (2008, positive): “Although species of both mating categories suffer from pollen discounting (de Jong et al. 1993; Goodwillie et al. 2005), self-compatibility additionally involves the risk of increased selfing, decrease of heterozygotes and inbreeding depression (Eckert 2000).”
Origins of Plant Diversity in the California Floristic Province (2014, background): “…those conditions may be simplistic (Barrett 2013); mixed mating systems are increasingly identified from genetic estimates of outcrossing rates (Goodwillie et al. 2005), even in instances in which late floral development indicates early self-pollination, as in some small-flowered taxa of…”
The Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Clonality for Plant Mating (2010, background): “Considerable theoretical work has focused on key genetic and reproductive parameters (e.g., selfing rates, inbreeding depression, pollen discounting, reproductive assurance) that influence the selection of reproductive traits and patterns of mating (reviewed in Goodwillie et al. 2005).”
Loss of Self‐Incompatibility and Its Evolutionary Consequences (2008, background): “While recent microevolutionary models of plant mating systems examine the stability of mixed mating (Goodwillie et al. 2005 and references therein; Porcher and Lande 2005a), even those that predict only predominant outcrossing and selfing as stable states (Lande and Schemske 1985) do not predict…”
Reproductive Assurance and the Evolution of Pollination Specialization (2007, background): “Furthermore, mixed mating systems, likely reflecting some autonomous selfing, are a common phenomenon of biotic pollination systems (Goodwillie et al. 2005).”
Spatial Scales of Pollen and Seed-Mediated Gene Flow in Tropical Rain Forest Trees (2008, background): “Plants are categorized as being primarily selffertilized (t<20%), outcrossed (t>80%) or as having a mixed mating system with bimodal distribution of selffertilizing and outcrossing individuals [45].”
Conservation of adaptive potential and functional diversity: integrating old and new approaches (2018, background): “Despite demonstration of strong inbreeding depression, mixed mating appears to be a common and sustainable strategy in flowering plants (Goodwillie et al. 2005), which could reflect the dynamic nature of fitness consequences.”
Why are there so many small plants? Implications for species coexistence (2006, background): “© 2006 The Authors Journal compilation © 2006 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 94 , 569‐580 (more than half according to Goodwillie et al . 2005 ) display at least some degree of selfing, including through mixed mating, despite the risk of inbreeding depression.”
