Abstract excerpt
Unisexual hybrids that reproduce either clonally or hemiclonally are considered to be evolutionarily short-lived as they lack the ability to reduce deleterious mutations and increase genetic diversity. In the greenling (Teleostei: Hexagrammidae, genus Hexagrammos), unisexual hybrids that produce haploid eggs containing only the H. octogrammus (maternal species) genome generate hemiclonal offspring by...
