Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Spermathecal Variation in Temperate Opiliones [PDF]
Integrative And Comparative Biology, 2020 Synopsis Most arachnid fertilization occurs internally, allowing for a variety of post-copulatory mechanisms to take place. Females are expected to exert some level of control over sperm fate when (1) the point of gametic fusion is particularly distant from the point of oogenesis, (2) the time of syngamy is significantly later than the ...

Opiliofauna (ARACHNIDA: OPILIONES) of the Atlantic Forest in the state of Paraná, Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Opiliones are arachnids that provide different services in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in tropical forests, which justifies inventory studies to better understand the occurrence and distribution of these arthropods in Brazil, since little is known
