Classical hypotheses in lichenology predict pairs of species in which sexual lineages are ancestral and long-lived evolutionarily and that these give rise to derived, evolutionarily transient asexual
The nematode Pristionchus exspectatus was isolated in 2010 on stag beetles in Japan. Molecular analyses have placed it as sister species to P. pacificus in the Pristionchus species phylogeny. While P.
We explore independent events of emergence of asexuality from sexual ancestor lineages in the brown algal Scytosiphon to examine the proximate and evolutionary mechanisms involved in the emergence of
Bakerâs law is the observation that recently dispersed populations are more likely to be self-fertilizing than populations at the range core. The explanatory hypothesis is that dispersal favors self
Substantial genetic differentiation is frequently observed among populations of cyclically parthenogenetic zooplankton despite their high dispersal capabilities and potential for gene flow. Local adap
