Do Genetic Drift and Gene Flow Affect the Geographic Distribution of Female Plants in Gynodioecious <i>Lobelia siphilitica</i>?

Variation in population sex ratio is particularly pronounced in gynodioecious angiosperms. Extremely high female frequencies in gynodioecious populations cannot be readily explained by selective forces alone. To assess the contributions of drift and gene flow to extreme sex-ratio variation, we docum...
