The Life Cycle Relative to Temperature of Protaphorura Armatus (Tullberg) (Collembola: Onychiuridae), a Parathenogenetic Species [PDF]
, 2017 Apparent parthenogenetic reproduction in Collembola has sometimes been attributed to accidental transfer of spermatophores with the food material from one culture to another (Schaller, 1953; Mayer, 1957).

Parthenogenesis in scorpions: some history - new data
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008 Parthenogenesis, a rare phenomenon in Chelicerates, apart from mites, is reviewed in scorpions, notably Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello from Brazil, Tityus columbianus (Thorell) from Colombia and Tityus metuendus Pocock from Peru and Brazil.

Molecular evidence for the first records of facultative parthenogenesis in elapid snakes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction by which embryos develop from unfertilized eggs. Parthenogenesis occurs in reptiles; however, it is not yet known to occur in the widespread elapid snakes (Elapidae), which include well-known taxa such as

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 Facultative parthenogenesis is important for mayflies with short alate stages because females are able to reproduce without mating. We studied facultative parthenogenesis in Ephoron eophilum, a mayfly with an extremely short alate stage.

Hybridisation generates a hopeful monster: a hermaphroditic selfing cichlid [PDF]
, 2016 Compared to other phylogenetic groups, self-fertilization (selfing) is exceedingly rare in vertebrates and is known to occur only in one small clade of fishes.

Diversity in the reproductive modes of European Daphnia pulicaria deviates from the geographical parthenogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Multiple transitions to obligate parthenogenesis have occurred in the Daphnia pulex complex in North America. These newly formed asexual lineages are differentially distributed being found predominantly at high latitudes.

A comparative study on the functional response of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected forms of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma brassicae [PDF]
, 2010 Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are haplo-diploid egg parasitoids that are frequently used as biological control agents against lepidopteran pests.

Facultative parthenogenesis validated by DNA analyses in the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 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).

Insects, 2021 Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria; it infects a wide variety of insects, other arthropods, and some nematodes. Wolbachia is ordinarily transmitted vertically from mother to offspring and can manipulate physiology and reproduction

Penetrance of symbiont-mediated parthenogenesis is driven by reproductive rate in a parasitoid wasp [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Trichogramma wasps are tiny parasitoids of lepidopteran eggs, used extensively for biological control. They are often infected with the bacterial symbiont Wolbachia, which converts Trichogramma to an asexual mode of reproduction, whereby females develop ...
