Abstract:
The transition from sexual reproduction to asexuality is often triggered by hybridization. The gametogenesis of many hybrid asexuals involves premeiotic genome endoreplication leading to bypass hybrid sterility and forming clonal gametes. However, it is still not clear when endoreplication occurs, how many gonial cells it affects and whether its rate differs among clonal lineages. Here, we investigated meiotic and premeiotic cells of diploid and triploid hybrids of spined loaches (Cypriniformes: Cobitis) that reproduce by gynogenesis. We found that in naturally and experimentally produced F1 h

Abstract:
While sexual reproduction is widespread among many taxa, asexual lineages have repeatedly evolved from sexual ancestors. Despite extensive research on the evolution of sex, it is still unclear whether this switch represents a major transition requiring major molecular reorganization, and how convergent the changes involved are. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationship and patterns of gene expression of sexual and asexual lineages of Eurasian Artemia brine shrimp, to assess how gene expression patterns are affected by the transition to asexuality. We find only a few genes th

Abstract:
Abstract The transition to asexual reproduction is frequent and widespread across the tree of life and constitutes a major life history change. Without sexual reproduction, selection on sexually selected traits is expected to be weaker or absent, allowing the decay and ultimately loss of sexual traits. In this study, we applied an experimental approach to investigate the decay of reproductive traits under asexuality in two asexual populations of the springtail Folsomia candida. Specifically, we compared several key male sexual traits of a sexual population and two distinct parthenogenetic line

Abstract:
Asexual taxa are often considered as rare and vowed to long-term extinction, notably because of their reduced ability for rapid genetic changes and potential adaptation. The rate at which they derive from sexual ancestors and their developmental mode however influence genetic variation in asexual populations. Understanding the transition from sexuality to asexuality is therefore important to infer the evolutionary outcome of asexual taxa. The present work explored the transition from sexuality to androgenesis, a reproductive mode in which the males use female resources to clone themselves, in

Abstract:
The factors contributing to the maintenance of sex over asexuality in natural populations remain unclear. Ecological divergences between sexual and asexual lineages could help to maintain reproductive polymorphisms, at least transiently, but the consequences of asexuality for the evolution of ecological niches are unknown. Here, we investigated how niche breadths change in transitions from sexual reproduction to asexuality. We used host plant ranges as a proxy to compare the realized feeding niche breadths of five independently derived asexual Timema stick insect species and their sexual relat

Деонтологизация рассматривается на примере права, уголовно-исполнительной политики, экономики, естествознания и других социокультурных стратегий развития. Так, одним из трендов современности выступает всевозрастающая роль информации, а также виртуализация товарно-денежных отношений (увеличение капитализации IT-компаний, медиагрупп и онлайн-сервисов).

Abstract:
Theory predicts that sexual reproduction is difficult to maintain if asexuality is an option, yet sex is very common. To understand why, it is important to pay attention to repeatably occurring conditions that favour transitions to, or persistence of, asexuality. Geographic parthenogenesis is a term that has been applied to describe a large variety of patterns where sexual and related asexual forms differ in their geographic distribution. Often asexuality is stated to occur in a habitat that is, in some sense, marginal, but the interpretation differs across studies: parthenogens might not only

Abstract:
La majorité des espèces parthénogétiques sont souvent perçues comme clonales. La clonalité est coûteuse à long terme, car elle peut entraîner l'accumulation de mutations délétères et une moins bonne capacité d’adaptation. Cependant, les cas d’espèces asexuées non clonales s'accumulent. L’asexualité non-clonale génère des conséquences génomiques et de fitness très différentes de la clonalité, et pourraient représenter une étape-clé dans la transition du sexe vers l’asexualité. De plus, l’asexualité peut être souvent non-obligatoire, avec des événements de sexe cryptiques. Ces évènements peuvent

Abstract:
Abstract Living organisms are divided into two superkingdoms: the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes consist of eubacteria and archaebacteria, are single-celled, and breed asexually. All other organisms comprise eukaryotes. These are larger, more complex, often multicellular, and, with some exceptions, reproduce sexually. About two billion years ago, eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes by incorporating oxygen-using eubacteria into anaerobic archaeans. This development was accompanied by increased oxidative metabolism using the newly acquired bacteria, or mitochondria. The mitochondrial ge
