DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aneil Agrawal\nAbstract: Some of the most productive o
 rganisms on earth reproduce asexually much of the time. Much of evolutiona
 ry genomic inference relies on coalescence but almost all previous theory 
 assumes full sex (or haploidy). I will discuss our recent work integrating
  partial asexuality into the coalescent framework to understand how low ra
 tes of sex affects coalescence\, highlighting the importance of gene conve
 rsion. I will also how low rates of sex greatly enhance background selecti
 on\, thereby reducing effective population size\, via two separate effects
 . Finally\, I will present some new population genomic data from a faculta
 tively sexual plant\, the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza.
