Temporal dynamics of genotypic diversity reveal strong clonal selection in the aphid Myzus persicae.

Abstract excerpt

Parthenogenetic organisms often harbour substantial genotypic diversity. This diversity may be the result of recurrent formations of new clones, or it may be maintained by environmental heterogeneity acting on ecological differences among clones. In aphids, both processes may be important because...
