parthanogenesis

[Lakshmikantan Ramakrishnan]

John Reed writes
 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?

Lizards, for one. Lot's of all female (=parthenoform)
whiptail lizards *Cnemidophorus* sp. in Texas.
