Genome-wide data implicate terminal fusion automixis in king cobra facultative parthenogenesis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Facultative parthenogenesis (FP) is widespread in the animal kingdom. In vertebrates it was first described in poultry nearly 70 years ago, and since then reports involving other taxa have increased considerably. In the last two decades, numerous reports

Costs of parthenogenesis on growth and longevity in ex situ zebra sharks Stegostoma tigrinum
Endangered Species Research, 2023 The zebra shark Stegostoma tigrinum, a popular aquarium fish, is an endangered species that is known to readily reproduce both sexually and through facultative parthenogenesis while in human care.

Notes on court and copula, fertility, nest, eggs and hatchlings of the Caatinga’s black snake Boiruna sertaneja Zaher, 1996 (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) from northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The Caatinga’s black snake Boiruna sertaneja is a Pseudoboini species, endemic of the Caatinga biome. It is rare and fits in five traits that suggest it deserve more attention in reproduction research and conservation policies.

Facultative symbiont infections affect aphid reproduction.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Some bacterial symbionts alter their hosts reproduction through various mechanisms that enhance their transmission in the host population. In addition to its obligatory symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum harbors several ...

Reproductive plasticity in freshwater invader: from long-term sperm storage to parthenogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Orconectes limosus, a North American crayfish species, is one of the most important aquatic invaders in European inland waters. Despite more than 120 years occurrence in Europe and intense research, there are still gaps in knowledge of its life history ...

Fisher vs. the Worms: Extraordinary Sex Ratios in Nematodes and the Mechanisms that Produce Them
Cells, 2021 Parker, Baker, and Smith provided the first robust theory explaining why anisogamy evolves in parallel in multicellular organisms. Anisogamy sets the stage for the emergence of separate sexes, and for another phenomenon with which Parker is associated ...

Virgin Birth: A genetic basis for facultative parthenogenesis
, 2022 Abstract Sexual reproduction evolved 1-2 billion years ago and underlies the biodiversity of our planet. Nevertheless, devolution of sexual into asexual reproduction can occur across all phyla of the animal kingdom. The genetic basis for how parthenogenesis can arise is completely unknown.

Sex at the margins: parthenogenesis vs. facultative and obligate sex in a Neotropical ant [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012 AbstractGeographic parthenogenesis is a distribution pattern, in which parthenogenetic populations tend to live in marginal habitats, at higher latitudes and altitudes and island‐like habitats compared with the sexual forms. The facultatively parthenogenetic ant Platythyrea punctata is thought to exhibit this general pattern throughout its wide range ...
