Phylogeography of competing sexual and parthenogenetic forms of a freshwater flatworm: patterns and explanations by Carranza Salvador, Storhas Martin, Pongratz Norbert, Michiels Nicolaas K

“…This can explain why parthenogens persist in populations that were originally sexual. Exclusive parthenogenesis in central and western populations suggests better colonisation capacity, possibly because of inbreeding costs as well as hybridisation of sexuals with parthenogens.…”

Intergenomic arms races: detection of a nuclear rescue gene of male-killing in a ladybird. by Tamsin M O Majerus, Michael E N Majerus

“…These strategies include feminisation, induction of parthenogenesis and male-killing. These strategies result in female biased sex ratios in host populations, which lead to selection for host factors that promote male production. …”

Mating behaviour in laevicaudatan clam shrimp (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) and functional morphology of male claspers in a phylogenetic context: a video-based analysis. by Zandra M S Sigvardt, Jørgen Olesen, Jørgen Olesen

“…Clam shrimps are freshwater branchiopod crustaceans which often present complicated breeding systems including asexual reproduction (parthenogenesis) and mixed mating systems (in androdioecious species both selfing and outcrossing occurs due to the co-presence of hermaphrodites and males). …”

Hybridization promotes asexual reproduction in Caenorhabditis nematodes. by Piero Lamelza, Janet M Young, Luke M Noble, Lews Caro, Arielle Isakharov, Meenakshi Palanisamy, Matthew V Rockman, Harmit S Malik, Michael Ailion

“…Fertile offspring are produced asexually by sperm-dependent parthenogenesis (also called gynogenesis or pseudogamy); these progeny inherit a diploid maternal genome but fail to inherit a paternal genome. …”

Gene Expression in Parthenogenic Maize Proembryos by Irina Volokhina, Yury Gusev, Yelizaveta Moiseeva, Olga Gutorova, Vladimir Fadeev, Mikhail Chumakov

“…For the first time, maize lines characterized by pronounced and inheritable high-frequency maternal parthenogenesis were generated 40 years ago, but there are no data on gene expression in parthenogenic maize proembryos. …”

Detection and characterization of <it>Wolbachia</it> infections in laboratory and natural populations of different species of tsetse flies (genus <it>Glossina</it>) by Doudoumis Vangelis, Tsiamis George, Wamwiri Florence, Brelsfoard Corey, Alam Uzma, Aksoy Emre, Dalaperas Stelios, Abd-Alla Adly, Ouma Johnson, Takac Peter, Aksoy Serap, Bourtzis Kostas

“…<it>Wolbachia</it> is able to induce reproductive abnormalities such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), thelytokous parthenogenesis, feminization and male killing, thus affecting biology, ecology and evolution of its hosts. …”

Transcriptional profiles in Strongyloides stercoralis males reveal deviations from the Caenorhabditis sex determination model by Damia Gonzalez Akimori, Emily J. Dalessandro, Thomas J. Nolan, Christopher R. Stieha, James B. Lok, Jonathan D. C. Stoltzfus

“…Abstract The human and canine parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis utilizes an XX/XO sex determination system, with parasitic females reproducing by mitotic parthenogenesis and free-living males and females reproducing sexually. …”

Temperature Dependence for Survival, Development, and Reproduction of the Cactus Cochineal <i>Dactylopius opuntiae</i> (Cockerell) by Mohamed El Aalaoui, Mohamed Sbaghi

“…The probability that a newly laid egg would survive to the adult stage was highest at 26 °C and 32 °C (44–60%). The parthenogenesis in females was not observed during our study. …”

Consequences of pond management for chironomid assemblages and diversity in English farmland ponds by Leslie P. Ruse, Helen M. Greaves, Carl D. Sayer, Jan C. Axmacher

“…After scrub and sediment removal the earliest colonisation of the ponds was by mud-eating species with rapid colonisation traits such as parthenogenesis, multiple generations in one year and tolerance of low oxygen conditions. …”

Morphology of the nervous system of monogonont rotifer Epiphanes senta with a focus on sexual dimorphism between feeding females and dwarf males by Ludwik Gąsiorowski, Anlaug Furu, Andreas Hejnol

“…Most monogonont species display cyclical parthenogenesis, where generations of asexually reproducing females are interspaced by mixis events when sexual reproduction occurs between mictic females and dwarf, haploid males. …”

A pragmatic species concept applicable to all eukaryotic organisms independent from their mode of reproduction or evolutionary history) by Bernhard Seifert

Evolution of the occurrence of Tityus serrulatus (LUTZ & MELLO, 1992) in the state of Santa Catarina by Taciana Mara da Silva Seemann, Ana Paula da Rocha, Fabíola Cremonese, Marisete Canello Resener, Andrea Petry, Ana Carolina Conchon Costa

“…Most cases occurred in urbanized areas, which suggests that they might have been transported from other states, and it must be considered that, in the urban environment, scorpions find a large supply of food and shelter and a reduced number of specific predators, allied to parthenogenesis.…”

Survival strategies of freshwater insects in cold environments by Valeria LENCIONI

“…Insects have developed a complex of strategies to survive at their physiological temperature minimum, comprising (a) morphological (melanism, reduction in size, hairiness/pubescence, brachyptery and aptery), (b) behavioural (basking in the sun, changes in feeding and mating habit, parthenogenesis, polyploidy, ovoviviparity, habitat selection and cocoon building), (c) ecological (extension of development to several years by quiescence or diapause and reduction of the number of generations per year), (d) physiological and biochemical (freezing tolerance and freezing avoidance) adaptations. …”
