Patterns of gene expression in ovaries of sexual vs. asexual lineages of a freshwater snail
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Why sexual reproduction is so common when asexual reproduction should be much more efficient and less costly remains an open question in evolutionary biology.

Superclone Expansion, Long-Distance Clonal Dispersal and Local Genetic Structuring in the Coral Pocillopora damicornis Type β in Reunion Island, South Western Indian Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis type β is known to present a mixed reproduction mode: through sexual reproduction, new genotypes are created, while asexual reproduction insures their propagation.

Asexual Reproduction in Infectious Diseases
, 2009 Parasitic organisms in the strict sense (eukaryotes) represent a significant part of the general biodiversity which has been described and, with 179 species affecting people worldwide, are of relevance for mankind in particular. Contrary to the classical view, many of these species are clonal.

Mate limitation, recurrent epidemic outbreaks, and the coexistence of sexual and asexual plant parasites [PDF]
, 2014 To date, relatively few studies have focused on the effects of sex on population dynamics. Previous models found that sexual reproduction may either dampen population fluctuations or accentuate population fluctuations, depending on mating system notably.

Low clonal propagation in Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata (Octocorallia) [PDF]
, 2017 Clonal propagation is a common feature of benthic marine organisms. In the present study, we investigated the contribution of clonal reproduction in the red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata. Mediterranean populations of P.

Asexual reproduction strategies in the moon jellyfish Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The genus Aurelia is one of the major contributors to jellyfish blooms in coastal waters, possibly due to its adaptive reproduction strategies. Different Aurelia lineages have adapted their reproduction modes to varying environmental conditions in their ...
