Role of seed reproduction and the initial proportion of tetraploids in the Clonal Model. Effects of the relative role of seed reproduction (c i ) and the initial proportion of tetraploids on the final proportion of individual cytotypes in the Clonal Model. Each projection was run for 200 years beginning with only diploids and tetraploids with no other ploidy present. Shades of grey indicate the final proportion of the given ploidy from white (absent) to black (100%). Upper row: c 3 = 1.2, lower row: g c 3 = 2. The rate of clonal growth of all other cytotypes is one. Left column: diploids, middle column: triploids, right column: tetraploids. Hybridization data in the models are taken from the experiment
