Comparing direct and indirect selfing rate estimates: when are population-structure estimates reliable?
The rate of self-fertilization (that is, selfing) is a key evolutionary parameter in hermaphroditic species, yet obtaining accurate estimates of selfing rates in natural populations can be technically challenging. Most published estimates are derived from population-level heterozygote deficiency (that is, F IS) or identity disequilibria (for example, the software RMES (robust multilocus estimate o
