All-male asexuality: origin and maintenance of androgenesis in the Asian clam Corbicula.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2008

Hedtke Shannon M, Stanger-Hall Kathrin, Baker Robert J, Hillis David M

Abstract excerpt

Androgenesis is a rare form of asexual male reproduction found in disparate taxa across the Tree of Life. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial genes suggest that androgenesis has arisen repeatedly in the Asian clam genus Corbicula. Two of these androgenetic species have been introduced to North America. Multiple lines of genetic evidence suggest that although nuclear recombination between these two species is...
