研究人員首次發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種生活在佛羅里達(dá)州河口的能夠單性繁殖后代。人們推測(cè)這是此類物種的一種生存機(jī)制。此發(fā)現(xiàn)被刊登在《當(dāng)代生物學(xué)》雜志上。以下是 Jonathan Webb 的報(bào)道:

Despite growing up to 12 feet in length with a vicious-looking snout, the smalltooth sawfish is critically endangered. Researchers from Stony Brook University in New York were doing a survey of the creatures to check on their genetic diversity.

They were surprised to find seven female fish that had no sign of a genetic father. They were all daughters of a virgin birth or parthenogenesis – this bizarre mechanism in which embryo grows from an unfertilised egg may be more common than scientists thought.

In captivity, sharks, reptiles and turkeys have all been known to surprise zookeepers and farmers with virgin births. But these fish are the first vertebrate virgin offspring ever found in the wild.
