The risks of inbreeding and outbreeding depression, and the prospects for genetic rescue are often different in species with alternative mating systems and mode of inheritance (compared to outbreeding diploids), such as self-incompatible, self-fertilizing, mixed mating, non-diploid (haploid, haplodiploid and polyploid) and asexual.

Population size and habitat disturbance are key factors likely to shape the mating system of populations in disturbed and fragmented landscapes. They would be expected to influence the availability and behaviour of the pollinator, the ability to find mates in self-incompatible species, inbreeding in self-compatible species and the size of the pollen pool. These in turn might be expected to influence key variables critical for population persistence such as seed production, seed germination and seedling fitness. Here we investigate mating-system variation in six rare species, i.e. Banksia cuneata, B. oligantha, Lambertia orbifolia (Proteaceae), Verticordia fimbrilepis subsp. fimbrilepis, Eucalyptus rameliana (Myrtaceae), Acacia sciophanes (Mimosaceae), and two common species, i.e. Calothamnus quadrifidus (Myrtaceae) and Acacia anfractuosa. All seven species are animal-pollinated relatively long-lived woody shrubs with mixed-mating systems. Population variation in mating-system parameters was investigated in relation to population size and habitat disturbance. We show that although the mating system will vary depending on pollination biology and life-history, as populations get smaller and habitat disturbance increases there is a trend towards increased inbreeding, smaller effective sizes of paternal pollen pools and greater variation in outcrossing among plants. From the species investigated in this study we have found that changes in the mating system can be useful indicators of population processes and can give valuable insight into the development of conservation strategies for the persistence of plant species following anthropogenic disturbance and landscape fragmentation.

ABSTRACT The effect of inbreeding on sociality is studied theoretically for the evolution of interactions between siblings in certain mixed mating systems that give rise to inbreeding: sib with random mating and selfing with random mating. Two approaches are taken. First, specific models of altruism are studied for the various mating systems. In the case of the additive model, inbreeding facilitates the evolution of altruistic genes. Likewise, for the multiplicative model this is usually the case, as long as the costs of altruism are not too great. Second, the case of total altruism, in which the gene has zero individual fitness but increases the fitness of associates, is studied for a general fitness formulation. In this case, inbreeding often retards the ability of such genes to increase when rare, and the equilibrium frequency of those recessive genes that can increase is totally independent of the mating system and, consequently, of the amount of inbreeding. It appears from the results presented that inbreeding facilitates most forms of altruism, but retards extreme altruism. These results stem from the fact that inbreeding increases the within-family relatedness by increasing the between-family variance in allele frequency. In most cases this facilitates altruism. However, in the case of total altruism, only heterozygotes can pass on the altruistic allele, and inbreeding tends to decrease this heterozygote class. In either case, the important effect of inbreeding lies in altering the genotypic distribution of the interactions.
