I am interest in knowing whether parthanogenesis has evolved in the male
sex of any species. I would presume not, for evolutionary reasons, but I
would like to know for sure. I would also like to know other peoples
opinions as to why this has not occured. My last question is simply: in
what types of organisms does parthanogenesis occur? I know it occurs in
insects, what about other arthropods, plants (I believe it does), other
animals, fungi? Thanks for any replies.
