Capture and return of sexual genomes by hybridogenetic frogs provide clonal genome enrichment in a sexual species

Abstract Hybridogenesis is a reproductive tool for sexual parasitism. Hybridogenetic hybrids use gametes from their sexual host for their own reproduction, but sexual species gain no benefit from such matings as their genome is later eliminated. Here, we examine the presence of sexual parasitism in...
