Interplay of asexual and sexual reproduction in bifunctional insects

Reproduction is a fundamental biological process, with organisms reproducing sexually, asexually, and, in some cases, utilizing both modes of reproduction within the same population.

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

Insights into the maintenance and consequences of asexual reproduction in rotifera [PDF]

, 2013
Despite much theoretical work, the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction in light of its apparent costs is not understood. Generally lacking are empirical data to test the proposed hypotheses. Rotifera, aquatic metazoans, are ideally suited to

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Preliminary studies on induced asexual ‎reproduction in Holothuria atra and Holothuria ‎pardalis under laboratory ‎conditions.

, 2020
Asexual reproduction was observed in H. atra and H. pardalis during 20th November ‎‎2019 to 20th February 2020. Asexual reproduction is a common phenomena in sea ‎cucumbers (class Holothuroidea) and organisms are capable of regenerating completely ‎or ...

Attitudes Towards Sexuality and Sexual Orientation in People With Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over time, sexuality has become a crucial aspect in people's lives, regardless of physical, intellectual or social conditions, ranging from sex and sexually transmitted diseases to gender identity and sexual orientation. The aim of this study was to carry out a review of the scientific literature on sexual orientation in people with ...

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...
