Facultative parthenogenesis in the Ryukyu drywood termite Neotermes koshunensis

Facultative parthenogenesis in the Ryukyu drywood termite Neotermes koshunensis
Parthenogenesis is a relatively rare reproductive mode in nature compared to sex. In social insects, the evolution of parthenogenesis has a notable impact on their life histories. Some termites with parthenogenetic ability produce numerous non-dispersing supplementary queens asexually, whereas other castes are produced via sexual reproduction.

Facultative parthenogenesis validated by DNA analyses in the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus)

Facultative parthenogenesis validated by DNA analyses in the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus)
In reptiles, the mode of reproduction is typically sexual. However, facultative parthenogenesis occurs in some Squamata, such as Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and Burmese python (Python bivittatus). Here, we report facultative parthenogenesis in the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). We found two fully developed female neonates and 17 undeveloped
