The evolutionary significance of parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction in the Australian spiny leaf insect, Extatosoma tiaratum [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 Dr. Yasaman AlaviThe costs and benefits of sexual reproduction has long been a subject of debate in biology. The paradox arises from the fact that theoretically, sex is associated with many costs, yet it is the most prevalent mode of reproduction ...

, 2007 International audience1. Microorganisms that manipulate the reproduction of their hosts through diverse mechanisms including the induction of parthenogenesis are widespread among arthropods. 2. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, shows a variation in its

Theory predicts that reproducing parthenogenetically could confer advantages over sexual reproduction. Yet, paradoxically, parthenogenetic lineages rarely persist over evolutionary timescales. Facultative parthenogens – animals able to reproduce sexually

Sex ratio theory usually assumes obligate sex; rare exceptions with facultative sex typically consider idiosyncratic cases of cyclic parthenogens. Here, we construct a general theoretical framework for facultative parthenogens.

, 2020 : We examined four suspected cases of facultative parthenogenesis in three species of a neotropical lineage of pitvipers of the Bothrops atrox group. Reproduction without mating was observed in captive females of B. atrox, B. moojeni and B.

An Independent Observation of Facultative Parthenogenesis in the Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix)
, 2015 Among reptiles, reproduction in the absence of males is often assumed to result from long-term sperm storage. Through the application of molecular genetic tools, biologists are beginning to recognize that facultative parthenogenesis can also explain such
