See textbooks
editAll of standard textbooks in genetics have titles Selfing and Inbreeding. I suggest further reeding! Yahadzija (talk) 11:47, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- The content is based on old zoology textbooks concerned with population biology. There are other areas of biology such as botany and embryology that need to be considered. "Selfing" often means self-pollination, which does not necessarily involve fertilization. Nadiatalent (talk) 16:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- The "old zoology textbooks" are the classics in this field, Shakespeare-type. The newest sources cite just them!!! Can You see?

- See: Ernst Mayr and G. Ledyard Stebbins, concerning the article references! Yahadzija (talk) 21:24, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Is Encyclopedia Britanica one of most essential source for verification?!
Absolute selfing (philosophy): to self-create oneself, not a biological term

- Consensus to merge Selfing to Autogamy Felix QW (talk) 14:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Merge into autogamy. They both list self-fertilization as a synonym, but there can only be one redirect (or a disambiguation?) Dpleibovitz (talk) 02:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support merge, on the grounds that these are synonyms. Most of references don't seem to use selfing, so I think that autogamy is preferred. I wonder about merging both to self-fertilization, which existed back in 2006, but it seems that autogamy has been preferred to mirror allogamy. Klbrain (talk) 10:40, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

- I didn't see this at the time and only want to comment: "Selfing" is very common in plant breeding. I don't know what references Klbrain means – perhaps the references in the article – but both terms are commonly used synonymously in plant breeding. Just a comment – I have no opinion about the merge just done by Felix QW. Invasive Spices (talk) 6 April 2022 (UTC)
