Origins of asexuality in Bryobia mites (Acari: Tetranychidae).

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 May 2008

Ros Vera I D, Breeuwer Johannes A J, Menken Steph B J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obligate asexual reproduction is rare in the animal kingdom. Generally, asexuals are considered evolutionary dead ends that are unable to radiate. The phytophagous mite genus Bryobia contains a large number of asexual species. In this study, we investigate the origin and evolution of asexuality using samples from 111 populations in Europe, South Africa and the United States, belonging to eleven...
