This study investigates parthenogenesis mechanisms in Megacrania batesii, finding variation in reproductive strategies that affect genetic diversity and lineage persistence.

This study shows that maternal senescence reprograms offspring gene expression, leading to reduced fitness, with both shared and distinct transcriptomic signatures between mothers and their offspring.

This study tracks mate-searching behavior in wild Sydney funnel-web spiders, finding males avoid risky conditions by moving less during rain and preferring warm nights after cool days.

This study investigates whether ecological factors shape geographical parthenogenesis in the stick insect Megacrania batesii, finding no significant differences in host plant traits or niche breadth between sexual and parthenogenetic populations.
