Phenotypic effects of an allele causing obligate parthenogenesis in a rotifer.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Scheuerl Thomas, Riss Simone, Stelzer Claus-Peter

Abstract excerpt

Transitions to obligate asexuality have been documented in almost all metazoan taxa, yet the conditions favoring such transitions remained largely unexplored. We address this problem in the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. In this species, a polymorphism at a single locus, op, can result in transitions to obligate parthenogenesis. Homozygotes for the op allele reproduce strictly by asexual reproduction, whereas...
