From: Rare sex or out of reach equilibrium? The dynamics of F IS in partially clonal organisms

Fig. 5

Examples for empirical F IS values of partially clonal populations compiled from field studies. One population genotyped with SSR per column belonging to 13 species (seven angiosperms, four protists, a sponge and a nematode), based on 13 previous studies (see Additional file 4) selected for their near fit with the assumptions of our model. F IS values per locus column 32 to 38 and 43 to 48 and 51 were calculated from the reported H o and H e . Includes populations for which, Populations 14–16 are expected to reproduce using preferential outbreeding during sexual events (self-incompatibility system). Dotted lines separate three groups of populations according to the information given by the authors about their putative rate of clonality, i.e. rarely clonal, frequent clonality and sexuality (including unknown), or rarely sexual. Numbers at the bottom of the plot indicated the number of sampled loci. Number indicated by The hue of each round dot indicates the number of samples (individuals/ramets): light grey: more than 10 ramets genotyped, black: more than 100 ramets genotyped. Red lozenges indicate the mean \( \overline{F_{IS,t,L}} \) over all sampled loci per population
