Mixed mating in natural populations of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica
Article Abstract:
A study is carried out to estimate the mating system of Cryphonectria parasitica in additional natural populations. It is reported that both selfing and outcrossing occur in 10 additional populations of C. parasitica sampled from Japan, Italy, Switzerland and USA and five populations with t (sub m) less than 1supports the conclusion that these populations exhibit mixed mating.

A novel mating system analysis for modes of self-oriented mating applied to diploid and polyploid arctic Easter daisies (Townsendia hookeri)
Article Abstract:
A new model was developed for mating system analysis in order to distinguish among alternate modes of self-oriented mating within populations. It was observed that apomixis can be partial and evidence was obtained of higher levels of inbreeding in polyploids compared to diploids and of appreciable levels of apomixis in a diploid plant population.

Sex determination and inbreeding depression in an ant with regular sub-mating
Article Abstract:
The sex determination in an ant with regular inbreeding, Cardiocondyla obscurior, is examined. The results have shown that single-locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD) is absent in this ant, but at the same time reveal that prolonged inbreeding negatively affects queen longevity and male fecundity.
