All-female lizard species created in the lab
Researchers have bred a new species of all-female lizard, mimicking a process that has happened naturally in the past but has never been directly observed.
Its recreating the events that lead to new species, said cell biologist Peter Baumann of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, whose new species is described May 3 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It relates to the question of how these unisexual species arise in the first place.
Female-only species that reproduce by cloning themselvesa process called parthenogenesis, in which embryos develop without fertilizationwere once considered dead-end evolutionary flukes.
