KlappentextInitial chapters discuss theory behind asexual life: what major disadvantages do asexual groups have to face, what are the genetic and ecological consequences and what does this theory predict for more applied aspects of asexual life, for example in agricultural pests, diseases as well as in cultural crops such as grapes.
ZusammenfassungSex is still evolutionary biology's biggest paradox. This book gathers contributions from key researchers exploring asexual evolution in eukaryotes. It is a milestone in research on parthenogenesis and will be useful to students and researchers at all levels.
