Switch from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction in a zebra shark.

Scientific reports - 16 Jan 2017

Dudgeon Christine L, Coulton Laura, Bone Ren, Ovenden Jennifer R, Thomas Severine

Abstract excerpt

Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which embryos develop in the absence of fertilisation. Most commonly found in plants and invertebrate organisms, an increasing number of vertebrate species have recently been reported employing this reproductive strategy. Here we use DNA genotyping to report the first demonstration of an intra-individual switch from sexual to parthenogenetic...
