Abstract
- SIGNIFICANCE: Parthenogenesis is unisexual reproduction through the development of unfertilized eggs, which produces offspring that are genetically alike. This clonal reproduction strategy is used by a number of species, especially for rapid reproduction under favorable conditions, and it appears to offer a selective advantage to creatures living in disturbed habitats.
