Population dynamics with a mixed type of sexual and asexual reproduction in a fluctuating environment [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Carassius gibelio, a cyprinid fish from Eurasia, has the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. This fish is also known as an invasive species which colonized almost all continental Europe, most likely originating from Asia and ...

PLoS ONE, 2016 Asexual reproduction, including parthenogenesis in which embryos develop within a female without fertilization, is assumed to confer advantages over sexual reproduction, which includes a "cost of males." Sexual reproduction largely predominates in ...

Asexual reproduction strategies in the moon jellyfish Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The genus Aurelia is one of the major contributors to jellyfish blooms in coastal waters, possibly due to its adaptive reproduction strategies. Different Aurelia lineages have adapted their reproduction modes to varying environmental conditions in their ...

Asexual reproduction reduces transposable element load in experimental yeast populations
eLife, 2019 Theory predicts that sexual reproduction can either facilitate or restrain transposable element (TE) accumulation by providing TEs with a means of spreading to all individuals in a population, versus facilitating TE load reduction via purifying selection.

Hybridization promotes asexual reproduction in Caenorhabditis nematodes.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Although most unicellular organisms reproduce asexually, most multicellular eukaryotes are obligately sexual. This implies that there are strong barriers that prevent the origin or maintenance of asexuality arising from an obligately sexual ancestor.

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 ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Asexual vertebrates are rare and at risk of extinction due to their restricted adaptability through the loss of genetic recombination. We explore the mechanisms behind the generation and maintenance of genetic diversity in triploid asexual (gynogenetic ...

Detection of Gene Flow from Sexual to Asexual Lineages in Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Populations of Thrips tabaci are known to have two sympatric but genetically isolated reproductive modes, arrhenotoky (sexual reproduction) and thelytoky (asexual reproduction).
