Abstract
Estimates biparental inbreeding (mating between closely related individuals) in natural populations of Aquilegia canadensis. Results indicated that approximately 30% of all matings involved close relatives. Biparental breeding, in combination with strong inbreeding depression, may influence selection on dispersal.Suggested Citation
