Fig 7. Model for the role of unisexual reproduction in foraging for mating partners.

In the absence of the opposite mating type, the ability to undergo unisexual reproduction does not promote foraging for mating partners of the same mating type (left). In the presence of the opposite mating type, hyphal growth promotes foraging for mating partners of both the same and the opposite mating type (right). NH: no hyphal growth; LH: low hyphal growth; MH: intermediate hyphal growth; HH: high hyphal growth.
