Parthenogenesis and the Evolution of Anisogamy
Cells, 2021 Recently, it was pointed out that classic models for the evolution of anisogamy do not take into account the possibility of parthenogenetic reproduction, even though sex is facultative in many relevant taxa (e.g., algae) that harbour both anisogamous and

A successful crayfish invader is capable of facultative parthenogenesis: a novel reproductive mode in decapod crustaceans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Biological invasions are impacting biota worldwide, and explaining why some taxa tend to become invasive is of major scientific interest. North American crayfish species, particularly of the family Cambaridae, are prominent invaders in freshwaters ...

Cytotype stability, facultative apomixis and geographical parthenogenesis in Ranunculus kuepferi (Ranunculaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2010 Asexual organisms are more widespread in previously glaciated areas than their sexual relatives ('geographical parthenogenesis'). In plants, this pattern is probably dependent on reproductive isolation and stability of cytotypes within their respective distribution areas. Both partial apomixis and introgressive hybridization potentially destabilize the

Royal Society Open ScienceChondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaera) are a fascinating case study through which to examine reproductive biology. While most vertebrate lineages have converged upon either placental viviparity or oviparity, chondrichthyans exhibit unparalleled ...

Peer Community Journal, 2023 Transitions from obligate sex to obligate parthenogenesis have occurred repeatedly across the tree of life. Whether these transitions occur abruptly or via a transient phase of facultative parthenogenesis is rarely known.

Facultative parthenogenesis in a critically endangered wild vertebrate [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Facultative parthenogenesis - the ability of sexually reproducing species to sometimes produce offspring asexually - is known from a wide range of ordinarily sexually reproducing vertebrates in captivity, including some birds, reptiles and sharks [1-3].

Venom Complexity in a Pitviper Produced by Facultative Parthenogenesis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractFacultative parthenogenesis (FP) is asexual reproduction in plant and animal species that would otherwise reproduce sexually. This process in vertebrates typically results from automictic development (likely terminal fusion) and is phylogenetically widespread.

Exceptional long-term sperm storage by a female vertebrate.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Females of many vertebrate species have the capacity to store sperm within their reproductive tracts for prolonged periods of time. Termed long-term sperm storage, this phenomenon has many important physiological, ecological, and evolutionary ...
