Evolution of asexuality in insects : Polyploidy, hybridization and geographical parthenogenesis
Asexual reproduction and polyploidy are relatively rare in animals with chromosomal sex determination and always represent a derived condition. To accomplish asexual reproduction several changes in gene expression are required in the mechanism of oogenesis. Polyploidy increases the cell volume and a...
