Role of Pollinators in the Evolution of Dioecy from Distyly [PDF]
, 1980 Although dioecy in flowering plants is mostly thought to have evolved because of its function as an outbreeding system (Lewis 1942; Stebbins 1950; Baker 1959; Charlesworth and Charlesworth 1978; and see Willson 1979), other possible explanations based on

Pheromone independent unisexual development in Cryptococcus neoformans
PLOS Genetics, 2017 The fungus Cryptococcus neoformans can undergo a-α bisexual and unisexual reproduction. Completion of both sexual reproduction modes requires similar cellular differentiation processes and meiosis. Although bisexual reproduction generates equal number of a and α progeny and is far more efficient than unisexual reproduction under mating-inducing ...

Pseudomale behaviour and spontaneous masculinization in the all-female teleost Poecilia formosa (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) [PDF]
, 1992 Pseudosexual behaviour is a rare phenomenon associated with unisexuality in vertebrates. In the gynogenetic, all-female teleost Poecilia formosa, rare individuals occur that resemble males of closely related gonochoristic species both in behaviour and ...

Architectural traits constrain the evolution of unisexual flowers and sexual segregation within inflorescences: an interspecific approach [PDF]
, 2019 Male and female unisexual flowers have repeatedly evolved from the ancestral bisexual flowers in different lineages of flowering plants. This sex specialization in different flowers often occurs within inflorescences.
