Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Mitotype diversity and female frequency were positively correlated across populations, consistent with balancing selection.
- Observation Low-female populations hosted mostly common mitotypes.
- Mechanism Balancing selection maintains established CMS types across this species.
- Mechanism Extreme female frequencies result from frequent invasion by novel CMS types.
- Mechanism Balancing selection alone cannot account for extreme population sex-ratio variation within a gynodioecious species.
