Female fish get along swimmingly without males

The female species has taken over! At least for some fish, that is.
The Amazon Molly fish, which is made up entirely of females, has reportedly survived 70,000 years without reproducing sexually, using genetic tricks to avoid extinction, according to scientists at the University of Edinburgh.
And by tricks, we mean "interacting" with other male species to start up their reproductive engines. And once the offspring arrive, they are essentially clones of their mother, receiving no genes from a male.
Asexual reproduction usually produces bad genes over generations, but not for these little ladies. Scientists confirm that the species should have been extinct within the last 70,000 years, but has managed to keep producing generations of healthy offspring.
But some experts aren't convinced that there isn't at least some hanky panky going on. "Maybe there is still occasional sex with strangers that keeps the species alive. Future research may give us some answers," said Dr Laurence Loewe, of the university's School of Biological Sciences. | |
