Theory suggests that occasional or conditional sex involving facultative switching between
sexual and asexual reproduction is the optimal reproductive strategy. Therefore, the true …

Abstract Theory predicts that occasional sexual reproduction in predominantly
parthenogenetic organisms offers all the advantages of obligate sexuality without paying its …

The maintenance of obligate sex in animals is a long‐standing evolutionary paradox. To
solve this puzzle, evolutionary models need to explain why obligately sexual populations …

Parthenogenesis usually includes clonal inheritance, which is thought to increase the risk of
the clonal populations' extinction. Yet many parthenogenetic organisms appear to have …

The evolution of a facultative sexual strategy that simultaneously produced sexual and
asexual individuals was studied theoretically, under negative frequency-dependence of …

The effect of virus‐host interactions on subsequent generations is poorly understood. The
evaluation of the effects of viral infection on inheritance of quantitative traits in the progeny of …

Most theories on the evolution of sex consider obligate asexual versus obligate sexual
reproduction. The presence of occasional sex, such as facultative or cyclic parthenogenesis …

Sexual conflict involving male coercion has been suggested as a possible mechanism for
the maintenance of costly sexual reproduction, offering a potential resolution to the 'paradox …

The discovery of multiple unisexual lizard populations started in the early 1900s and stirred
up many scientific questions. Later, numerous usually sexually reproducing vertebrates …
