Antiquity of clonal salamander lineages revealed by mitochondrial DNA.

Nature - 23 Apr 1992

Spolsky C M, Phillips C A, Uzzell T

Abstract excerpt

The existence of clonally reproducing vertebrates has often served as a foil in attempts to explain the near-ubiquity of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, but the absence of recombination, with its attendant limitation of new genotypes to those produced through mutations, restricts the adaptive...
