Genome stability is a crucial feature of eukaryotic organisms because its alteration
drastically affects the normal development and survival of cells and the organism as a …

Simple Summary Over the years, conservation physiologists have attempted to evaluate the
threat factors affecting populations and manage ecosystems effectively by understanding …

Obligate parthenogenesis evolved in reptiles convergently several times, mainly through
interspecific hybridization. The obligate parthenogenetic complexes typically include both …

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 …

Hybridization and polyploidy play an important role in animal speciation. European water
frogs of the Pelophylax esculentus complex demonstrate unusual genetic phenomena …

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 …

Metazoans usually reproduce sexually, blending the unique identity of parental genomes for
the next generation through functional crossing-over and recombination in meiosis …
