In the course of evolution, animals have repeatedly shifted from sexual to asexual reproduction. The first evidence of the consequences of parthenogenesis – a type of asexual reproduction – on genome ...

Plant reproduction is highly complex and variable across the kingdom. The emergence of sexual reproduction has contributed to increase plant genetic diversity and enabled the colonisation of new ...

In the animal kingdom, reproduction is a necessary part of species survival. Parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction where embryos develop from unfertilized eggs, has been observed in captive ...

HENDERSONVILLE - Already a local favorite by visitors to Main Street's Aquarium and Shark Lab by Team ECCO, the female stingray named Charlotte is now a worldwide celebrity, and for a good reason — ...

A shark born at Italy's Acquario Cala Gonone could be the first case of asexual reproduction in its species. The Sardinia-based facility says its female smooth-hound shark "Ispera" was born in a tank ...

Two supposedly asexual species of stick insects may engage in occasional bouts of sex, helping to widen their gene pool and avoid harmful mutations. A handful of animals reproduce asexually, primarily ...
