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 ...

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

Identifying and Engineering Genes for Parthenogenesis in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Parthenogenesis is the spontaneous development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. It naturally occurs in a variety of plant and animal species.

Parthenogenesis and the Evolution of Anisogamy [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Abstract Recently, it was pointed out [1] that classic models for the evolution of anisogamy do not take into account the possibility of parthenogenetic reproduction, even though sex is facultative in many relevant taxa (e.g. algae) that harbour both anisogamous and isogamous species.

Facultative parthenogenesis in California condors [PDF]
, 2021 Parthenogenesis is a relatively rare event in birds, documented in unfertilized eggs from columbid, galliform, and passerine females with no access to males.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Reptiles show varying degrees of facultative parthenogenesis. Here we use genetic methods to determine that an isolated, captive female Asian water dragon produced at least nine offspring via parthenogenesis. We identified microsatellites for the species

Plants, 2022 The role of apomeiosis, parthenogenesis, and pseudogamy in the asexual reproduction of some plant groups has not been fully elucidated in relation to species diversification.

Sperm-Dependent Parthenogenesis and Hybridogenesis in Teleost Fishes
, 2009 In so-called unisexual teleost fishes, a broad spectrum of evolutionaty stages with varying amounts of sexual elements has evolved. These range from pure sperm-dependent parthenogenesis (gynogenesis) without or with different amounts of paternal leakage ...
