An international research team has discovered various mechanisms in asexual mites that generate genetic diversity and thus ...

Explore how oribatid mites have thrived for millions of years without sex, using unique strategies like parthenogenesis and gene transfer.

But although mating is pretty important, the potential gene pool is very small: there is very little opportunity for expanding genetic diversity. This could mean that the mites are on track for an ...

An international group of researchers at the University of Cologne have explored the asexual reproduction of oribatid mites ...
