Influence of genome and bio-ecology on the prevalence of genome exchange in unisexuals of the Ambystoma complex

Influence of genome and bio-ecology on the prevalence of genome exchange in unisexuals of the Ambystoma complex

Abstract Background Unisexuals of the blue-spotted salamander complex are thought to reproduce by kleptogenesis. Genome exchanges associated with this sperm-dependent mode of reproduction are expected to result in a higher genetic variation and multiple ploidy levels compared to clonality. However,...
