Nature - 7 Jun 2001

Siller S

Abstract excerpt

Sex is expensive. A population of females that reproduce asexually should prima facie have twice the growth rate of an otherwise equivalent anisogamous sexual population lacking paternal care, or a population with modes of paternal care that can be co-opted by parthenogenetic females. The two leading theories for the maintenance of sex require either synergistic interactions between deleterious mutations, or...
