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).

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 41-55, January 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

Cytogenetics of a parthenogenetic Arctic species of Micropsectra (Diptera, Chironomidae)
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2011 Micropsectra sedna (Oliver, 1976) is a parthenogenetic midge from the Canadian Arctic. The parthenogenetic mechanism is apomictic thelytoky, with a restitutional division during oogenesis, as found in other parthenogenetic Chironomidae.

Parthenogenetic vs. sexual reproduction in oribatid mite communities
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The dominance of sex in Metazoa is enigmatic. Sexual species allocate resources to the production of males, while potentially facing negative effects such as the loss of well‐adapted genotypes due to recombination, and exposure to diseases and predators ...
