Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...

Parthenogenesis in Utopian Novels: A Comparative Study of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland and Mahsa Mohebali's The Gray Curse [PDF]
مطالعات بینرشتهای ادبیات، هنر و علوم انسانی, 2023 Comparative literature is considered as one of the most important fields of research in humanities, and studies on feminism and women writers from different nationalities can offer important contributions to the field.

Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs.

Parthenogenesis in dipterans: a genetic perspective
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2023 Parthenogenesis has been documented in almost every phylum of animals, and yet this phenomenon is largely understudied. It has particular importance in dipterans since some parthenogenetic species are also disease vectors and agricultural pests. Here, we

Geographical Parthenogenesis in Alpine and Arctic Plants
Plants, 2023 The term “Geographical parthenogenesis” describes the phenomenon that asexual organisms usually occupy larger and more northern distribution areas than their sexual relatives, and tend to colonize previously glaciated areas.

Protocol for screening facultative parthenogenesis in Drosophila
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Most species of sexually reproducing Drosophila are capable of some degree of facultative parthenogenesis, which involves the initiation of development in an unfertilized egg.

Insects, 2023 Insects are renowned for their remarkable diversity of reproductive modes. Among these, the largest non-holometabolous order, Hemiptera, stands out with one of the most diversified arrays of parthenogenesis modes observed among insects.

Premeiotic endoreplication is essential for obligate parthenogenesis in geckos.
Development, 2022 Obligate parthenogenesis evolved in reptiles convergently several times, mostly through interspecific hybridization. The obligate parthenogenetic complexes typically include both diploid and triploid lineages. Offspring of the parthenogenetic hybrids are

Parthenogenesis without costs in a grasshopper with hybrid origins
Science, 2022 The rarity of parthenogenetic species is typically attributed to the reduced genetic variability that accompanies the absence of sex, yet natural parthenogens can be surprisingly successful.

Parthenogenesis is self-destructive for scaled reptiles
Biology Letters, 2021 Parthenogenesis is rare in nature. With 39 described true parthenogens, scaled reptiles (Squamata) are the only vertebrates that evolved this reproductive strategy.
