The paper investigates the origin of asexuality in the Amazon molly, showing that ancestral introgression between parental species contributed to its unique genomic makeup.

The paper shows asexual hybrids mediate genomic introgression from an extinct species into their sexual parent, challenging the view of asexual lineages as evolutionary dead ends.

The paper investigates the triggers of clonal gametogenesis in hybrids, finding that it is initiated by intrinsic signals in hybrid germ cells but requires a female gonadal environment for execution.

The paper investigates genome duplication in gynogenetic hybrids of Cobitis taenia, finding that endoreplication occurs in a minority of gonocytes and is more common in natural clones than experimental hybrids.
