Unisexuality and Molecular Drive: Bag320 Sequence Diversity in Bacillus Taxa (Insecta Phasmatodea) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Evolution, 2003
Satellite DNA variability follows a pattern of concerted evolution through homogenization of new variants by genomic turnover mechanisms and variant fixation by chromosome redistribution into new combinations with the sexual process.

Ancestry of unisexual salamanders

Nature, 1992
In eastern North America there are populations of all-female salamanders that incorporate the nuclear genomes of two or three of four sympatric bisexual species. The hybrids can be diploid, triploid, tetraploid or pentaploid, and 18 different combinations have been reported. All hybrids require sperm from a sympatric male of one of the bisexual species

Unisexual Reproduction

2014
Sexual reproduction is ubiquitous throughout the eukaryotic kingdom, but the capacity of pathogenic fungi to undergo sexual reproduction has been a matter of intense debate. Pathogenic fungi maintained a complement of conserved meiotic genes but the populations appeared to be clonally derived.

Unisexual reproduction among vertebrates

Trends in Genetics, 2011
The past decade has seen a remarkable revision of perspectives on unisexual reproduction in vertebrates. One can no longer view it as a rare curiosity far outside the mainstream of evolution. More than 80 taxa of fish, amphibians, and reptiles are now known to reproduce by parthenogenesis (Greek for 'virgin birth') or its variants, and they persist in ...

Mechanisms of unisexual mating in Cryptococcus neoformans

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2011
Sex serves a pivotal role in genetic exchange and it contributes to the fitness and genetic diversity for eukaryotic populations. Although the importance of the canonical bisexual mating has been widely accepted, the significance of the evolution and maintenance of unisexual mating observed in some eukaryotes is unclear.

Unisexual Flowers in the Ericales

Nature, 1957
THE flowers of the Epacridaceae have been described as hermaphrodite1,2 or hermaphrodite, rarely dioecious3, but in the latter case no examples of dioecy are quoted. The following notes concerning species previously described as hermaphrodite indicate that unisexual flowers may be not uncommon in this family.
