Genome studies of facultative sexual species, which can either reproduce sexually or asexually, are providing insight into the evolutionary consequences of mixed reproductive modes. It is currently unclear to what extent the evolutionary history of facultative sexuals’ genomes can be approximated by the standard coalescent, and if a coalescent effective population sizeexists. Here, I determine if and when these approximations can be made. When sex is frequent (occurring at a frequency much greater thanper reproduction per generation, forthe actual population size), the underlying genealogy can be approximated by the standard coalescent, with a coalescent. When sex is very rare (at frequency much lower than), approximations for the pairwise coalescent time can be obtained, which is strongly influenced by the frequencies of sex and mitotic gene conversion, rather than. However, these terms do not translate into a coalescent. These results are used to discuss the best sampling strategies for investigating the evolutionary history of facultative sexual species.
