Plant Mating Systems Evolution Database

This database and web-application were developed as a prototype for the NESCent Working Group on “Understanding the paradox of mixed mating in flowering plants” (PIs: Susan Kalisz, Mark Johnston).

Data

The database integrates four separate data collections.

1. The mating system database contains information on estimates of selfing/outcrossing rate and/or the inbreeding coefficient measured at the population level for 475 species.
2. The inbreeding depression database contains information on estimates inbreeding depression measured across the life history (3-stage or 4-stage IBD) measured at the population level.
3. The experimental pollination database contains information at the population level on experimental tests of selfing, outcrossing, pollen limitation, reproductive assurance, timing of selfing, etc.
4. The species traits database contains data on the average morphological, phenological, life history and habitat characteristics for all 475 species in the mating system database.

Significantly, all four databases contain citations to the original publications from which the data were extracted.

This repository does not include the data. The data have been deposited in the Dryad repository:

• Goodwillie C, Sargent RD, Kalisz S, Ree RH, Moeller DA, Vallejo-Marin M, Eckert CG, Winn AA, Elle E, Geber MA, Johnston MO (2009) Data from: Correlated evolution of mating system and floral display traits in flowering plants and its implications for the distribution of mating system variation.
