Let us not be unfair to asexuals: their ephemerality may be explained by neutral models without invoking any evolutionary constraints of asexuality

Original language description

Phylogenetic studies typically demonstrate lower evolutionary ages of clones, relative to their sexual ancestors. This has often been attributed to heightened extinction risk of asexual organisms. We previously criticized such interpretations and demonstrated that the life span of clones is ultimately limited by neutral drift depending on the rate at which new clones are spawned into an asexual community of a finite size. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether the natural rates of such influxes are sufficiently high to account for the relative ephemerality of clones without assuming their increased extinction rate. I applied the neutral clonal turnover model to phylogenies of polyploid asexual ferns and simulated the coalescent trees over awide range of demographic structures and sampling schemes?
