Flexible Asexuality: Naturally occurring variation in mechanisms of parthenogenesis within lineages and individuals of a facultative parthenogen, Megacrania batesii

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

Maternal senescence broadly reprograms gene expression in offspring

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.

Does ecology shape geographical parthenogenesis? Evidence from the facultatively parthenogenetic stick insect Megacrania batesii

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.
