This all-female fish has been cloning itself for 100,000 years — and its DNA is still thriving
Learn how the Amazon molly, an all-female fish that reproduces asexually, uses gene conversion to maintain healthy DNA and ...
Even back then, scientists were puzzled. Many prediction models suggested this fish shouldn’t survive beyond roughly 10,000 ...
University of Missouri researchers have shown how an all-female fish species called the Amazon molly defies the long-held ...
Reproduction in animals varies from species to species. Some types of reproduction, like parthenogenesis, are more unusual than others. This reproductive method requires only one individual rather ...

Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by sperm. The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance on Thursday announced ...
Amazon mollies don't need a man, and never will. A new study finds they can purge and repair genetic mutations that would otherwise plague a self-cloning species.
Some animals can produce offspring from an unfertilized egg in an asexual reproduction process known as parthogenesis. When this is the standard process for a species it's said to be 'obligate' and ...
Sexual reproduction implies high costs, but it is difficult to give evidence for evolutionary advantages that would explain the predominance of meiotic sex in eukaryotes. A combinational theory ...
