Repeated convergent evolution of parthenogenesis in Acariformes (Acari) by Patrick Pachl, Matti Uusitalo, Stefan Scheu, Ina Schaefer, Mark Maraun

“…Ancestral character state reconstruction indicated that (a) Acariformes as well as Oribatida evolved from a sexual ancestor, (b) the primary mode of reproduction during evolution of Acariformes was sexual; however, species‐rich parthenogenetic taxa radiated independently at least four times (in Brachychthonioidea (Oribatida), Enarthronota (Oribatida), and twice in Nothrina (Oribatida), (c) parthenogenesis additionally evolved frequently in species‐poor taxa, for example, Tectocepheus, Oppiella, Rostrozetes, Limnozetes, and Atropacarus, and (d) sexual reproduction likely re‐evolved at least three times from species‐rich parthenogenetic clusters, in Crotonia (Nothrina), in Mesoplophora/Apoplophora (Mesoplophoridae, Enarthronota), and in Sphaerochthonius/Prototritia (Protoplophoridae, Enarthronota). …”

Transcriptome Analysis of Thermal Parthenogenesis of the Domesticated Silkworm. by Peigang Liu, Yongqiang Wang, Xin Du, Lusong Yao, Fengbo Li, Zhiqi Meng

“…Thermal induction of parthenogenesis (also known as thermal parthenogenesis) in silkworms is an important technique that has been used in artificial insemination, expansion of hybridization, transgenesis and sericultural production; however, the exact mechanisms of this induction remain unclear. …”

Thorne, Einhard Schierenberg, Thomas Wiehe, Mark Blaxter

“…Summary: Most animal species reproduce sexually and fully parthenogenetic lineages are usually short lived in evolution. Still, parthenogenesis may be advantageous as it avoids the cost of sex and permits colonization by single individuals. …”
