The killifish Rivulus marmoratus is the only vertebrate known to reproduce
by virtually obligate self-fertilization and whose natural populations are
generally comprised of homozygous clones. A webpage discussing the biology
of this organism in some detail, including a review article, bibliography,
faqs, and some illustrations, is now available at the following url:
