I would appreciate references to literature that compares the viability of offspring that are produced sexually to those produced asexually. I have found roughly 30 such papers already, mostly animals and among those mostly insects. I would like to increase the size of this dataset if possible, especially to add more plants and fungi.
The types of comparisons I am looking for quantify the same measure of viability (most often germination rate or hatching rate) for sexually and asexually produced offspring of closely related populations, the same population, or even the same individuals reproducing both ways. The asexual reproduction could be vegetative or parthenogenetic (apomictic). If you know of a paper or chapter I should look at, please let me know. Thank you.
