Origin of Polyploidy in Parthenogenetic Weevils

Parthenogenesis and, in particular, polyploidy are rare in animals. A number of cases are known among weevils. Previous models have assumed that parthenogenesis originated in a diploid lineage, involving first an automictic (meiotic) mechanism that then evolves into apomixis. New degrees of polyploi...
