The role of hybridization in the origin and spread of asexuality in Daphnia.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2013

Xu Sen, Innes David J, Lynch Michael, Cristescu Melania E

Abstract excerpt

The molecular mechanisms leading to asexuality remain little understood despite their substantial bearing on why sexual reproduction is dominant in nature. Here, we examine the role of hybridization in the origin and spread of obligate asexuality in Daphnia pulex, arguably the best-documented case of contagious asexuality. Obligately parthenogenetic (OP) clones of D. pulex have traditionally been separated into...
