Using molecular genetic techniques to detect outcrossing in natural populations of a self-fertilizing fish

<p>The hermaphroditic fish, Rivulus marmoratus, is the only vertebrate known to reproduce by internal self-fertilization; this process results in populations of homozygous clones. Most natural populations consist entirely of hermaphrodites, but phenotypically distinct, fertile males occur at f...
