Genetic causes of transitions from sexual reproduction to asexuality in plants and animals.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2014

Neiman M, Sharbel T F, Schwander T

Abstract excerpt

The persistence of sexual reproduction in the face of competition from asexual invaders is more likely if asexual lineages are produced infrequently or have low fitness. The generation rate and success of new asexual lineages will be influenced by the proximate mechanisms underlying transitions to asexuality. As such, characterization of these mechanisms can help explain the distribution of reproductive modes...
