Sexual versus Asexual Reproduction: Distinct Outcomes in Relative Abundance of Parthenogenetic Mealybugs following Recent Colonization.

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 ...

Facultative parthenogenesis in the burrowing mayfly, Ephoron eophilum (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) with an extremely short alate stage

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.

Epidemiology of asexuality induced by the endosymbiotic Wolbachia across phytophagous wasp species: host plant specialization matters.

, 2014
International audienceAmong eukaryotes, sexual reproduction is by far the most predominant mode of reproduction. However, some systems maintaining sexuality appear particularly labile and raise intriguing questions on the evolutionary routes to ...

The Evolutionary Genetics of Thelytokous Parthenogenesis in Eusocial Hymenoptera [PDF]

, 2015
The phenomenon of thelytoky, the asexual production of diploid female offspring, is being increasingly uncovered among the eusocial Hymenoptera. Thelytoky is associated with a number of fascinating and novel reproductive systems.

Mechanism of facultative parthenogenesis in the ant Platythyrea punctata

, 2011
Thelytokous parthenogenesis, the production of diploid female offspring from unfertilized eggs, can be caused by several cytological mechanisms, which have a different impact on the genetic variation on the offspring.

Facultative use of thelytokous parthenogenesis for queen production in the polyandrous ant Cataglyphis cursor

, 2013
he evolutionary paradox of sex remains one of the major debates in evolutionary biology. The study of species capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction can elucidate factors important in the evolution of sex. One such species is the ant Cataglyphis

Thelytokous worker reproduction and lack of Wolbachia infection in the harvesting ant Messor capitatus

, 2000
In hymenopteran societies, workers are not always sterile, and may produce parthenogenetically either males (arrhenotoky) or females (thelytoky). Thelytoky however is exceptional, and has been recorded in only four ant species.
