Genetic diversity and the origins of parthenogenesis in the teiid lizard Aspidoscelis laredoensis.

Abstract excerpt

Unisexual vertebrates typically form through hybridization events between sexual species in which reproductive mode transitions occur in the hybrid offspring. This evolutionary history is thought to have important consequences for the ecology of unisexual lineages and their interactions with congeners in natural communities. However, these consequences have proven challenging to study owing to uncertainty about...
