Sex or no sex: evolutionary adaptation occurs regardless.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Apr 2014

Seidl Michael F, Thomma Bart P H J

Abstract excerpt

All species continuously evolve to adapt to changing environments. The genetic variation that fosters such adaptation is caused by a plethora of mechanisms, including meiotic recombination that generates novel allelic combinations in the progeny of two parental lineages. However, a considerable n...
