The edible frog, Pelophylax esculentus, is a hybrid form that reproduces via clonal
propagation of only one of the parental genomes through generations of hybrids while the …

Hybridogenesis is a hemiclonal reproductive strategy in diploid and triploid hybrids. Our
study model is a frog P. esculentus (diploid RL and triploids RLL and RRL), a natural hybrid …

Many closely related species are capable of mating to produce hybrid offspring, which are
usually sterile. Nevertheless, altering the gametogenesis of hybrid offspring can rescue …

In most organisms, cells typically maintain genome integrity, as radical genome
reorganization leads to dramatic consequences. However, certain organisms, ranging from …

Background Interspecies animal hybrids can employ clonal or hemiclonal reproduction
modes where one or all parental genomes are transmitted to the progeny without …

The western Palaearctic water frogs in the genus Pelophylax comprise several distinct
species and three hybridogenetic hybrid forms. In this study, we focus on the Pelophylax …

The unidirectional natural transfer of mitochondrial (mt) DNA from Pelophylax lessonae into
P. ridibundus is a common phenomenon in central Europe. Cases of mtDNA exchange …

Hybridogenesis is a reproductive tool for sexual parasitism. Hybridogenetic hybrids use
gametes from their sexual host for their own reproduction, but sexual species gain no benefit …

An intriguing outcome of hybridisation is the emergence of clonally and hemiclonally
reproducing hybrids, that can sustain, reproduce, and lead to the emergence of polyploid …

Studying any system requires development of ways to describe the variety of its conditions.
Such development includes three steps. The first one is to identify groups of similar systems …
