Abstract

A multilocus method of estimating mating system parameters in populations is presented that recovers information from classification over multiple loci that single-locus estimators do not detect. It is shown that the multilocus estimator provides a standard of reference (null hypothesis) that can be useful in analyzing the effects of factors such as population heterogeneity and post-mating zygotic selection on the transmission of genetic information at the population level.

Keywords: mixed mating model, self-fertilization, allozyme markers
