The natural origin of diploid parthenogenesis in whiptail lizards has been through interspecific hybridization. Genomes of the parthenogens indicate that they originated in one generation, as the lizards clone the F1 hybrid state. In addition, hybridization between diploid parthenogens and males of bisexual species has resulted in triploid parthenogenetic clones in nature. Consequently, the genus Aspidoscelis contains numerous gonochoristic (= bisexual) species and numerous unisexual species whose ...

Is it correct, as is often assumed, that the clonal form of inheritance in parthenogenetic lizards results in less variability than occurs with genetic recombination in their sexually reproducing (gonochoristic) relatives? We tested this hypothesis by comparing morphological variability in samples of parthenogenetic Aspidoscelis tesselata and several gonochoristic species of whiptail lizards. To control for environmental factors that might differentially affect embryonic development of morphological ...

A population of the parthenogenetic teiid lizard, Aspidoscelis tesselata, was recently discovered in the vicinity of Benavides, Chihuahua, México. This population is located in the general area where A. tesselata originated, as a parthenogenetically competent F1 hybrid, from hybridization between A. tigris marmorata and A. gularis septemvittata. Subsequent to its origin, A. tesselata utilized habitats associated with the Rio Grande and Pecos River drainages to expand ...
