Abstract
The affect of parent distance on progeny fitness was studied in Chamaecrista fasciculata. Mating of different individuals in the same neighborhood produced the greatest fitness with selfed progeny having 50% reduced relative fitness. Inter-neighborhood cross progeny had greater fitness than intra-neighborhood cross progeny.Suggested Citation
