Fitness-associated sexual reproduction in a filamentous fungus.

Current biology : CB - 10 Aug 2010

Schoustra Sijmen, Rundle Howard D, Dali Rola, Kassen Rees

Abstract excerpt

Sex is a long-standing evolutionary enigma. Although the majority of eukaryotes reproduce sexually at least sometimes [1-3], the evolution of sex from an asexual ancestor has been difficult to explain because it requires sexually reproducing lineages to overcome the manifold costs of sex, including the destruction of favorable gene combinations created by selection [4, 5]. Conditions for the evolution of sex are...
