Those outlier liaisons gave whiptails robust heterozygosity, which has been preserved by the identical replication—essentially, cloning—that occurs in asexual reproduction. It’s a genetic ...

Such insights not only deepen our understanding of asexual reproduction but also open new ... pave the way for new ...

The finding may offer insight into a long standing question in evolutionary biology about what forces cause species to choose sex over asexual reproduction and vice versa, he said. On paper, ...

Jellyfish are among the oldest animals on Earth, found in all the world's oceans and serve as valuable model systems for biological research. Microbiologists at Kiel University (CAU) have now shown ...

“This finding provides key insights into how reproduction without a mate works in reptiles, but it also reshapes some of our long-held views about the limitations of asexual species. Rather than being ...
