ARP: asexual reproduction programming
Connection Science, 2021 Recently meta-heuristic techniques have attracted more attention. Algorithms based on Bio-inspired problems are among the most popular techniques of this field. In meta-heuristic algorithms, Genetic algorithm is one of the most useful. GA uses chromosome

Asexual reproduction: Genetics and evolutionary aspects
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007 Reproduction is essential to all organisms if they are to contribute to the next generation. There are various means and ways of achieving this goal. This review focuses on the role of asexual reproduction for eukaryotic organisms and how its integration in a life cycle can influence their population genetics and evolution.

Evidence for stronger discrimination between conspecific and heterospecific mating partners in sexual vs. asexual female freshwater snails [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Once-useful traits that no longer contribute to fitness tend to decay over time. Here, we address whether the expression of mating-related traits that increase the fitness of sexually reproducing individuals but are likely less useful or even costly to ...

Insects, 2022 Despite its substantial costs, sexual reproduction dominates in animals. One popular explanation for the paradox of sex is that asexual reproduction is more likely to accumulate deleterious mutations than sexual reproduction.

Influence of the mode of reproduction on dispersal evolution during species invasion [PDF]
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2020 We consider a reaction-diffusion-reproduction equation, modeling a population which is spatially heterogeneous. The dispersion of each individuals is influenced by its phenotype.

Thelytokous parthenogenesis in the fungus-gardening ant Mycocepurus smithii (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The general prevalence of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction among organisms testifies to the evolutionary benefits of recombination, such as accelerated adaptation to changing environments and elimination of deleterious mutations.

Transgenerational effects and temperature variation alter life history traits of the moon jellyfish
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Understanding the life history strategy of organisms is key to predicting their population dynamics. The population of scyphozoan jellyfish has displayed an increasing trend in recent decades, yet its life history strategy is not fully understood.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Cnidarians exhibit incredible reproductive diversity, with most capable of sexual and asexual reproduction. Here, we investigate factors that influence asexual reproduction in the burrowing sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, which can propagate ...

Density, parasitism, and sexual reproduction are strongly correlated in lake Daphnia populations
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many organisms can reproduce both asexually and sexually. For cyclical parthenogens, periods of asexual reproduction are punctuated by bouts of sexual reproduction, and the shift from asexual to sexual reproduction has large impacts on fitness and ...
