This project studies the genetic and environmental factors influencing sexual and asexual reproduction in Daphnia, a water flea. It aims to determine whether sex specialization is driven by inbreeding avoidance or adaptation to local conditions.
The ability to switch between sexual and asexual reproduction may be critical for many taxa when securing survival in varying environmental conditions.
For these organisms, sex is often associated with harsh conditions, typically found at the end of the growing season.
Sexual recombination in facultative sexuals commonly results in the formation of a dormant form that is considered a strategy to overcome adverse environmental conditions.
When engaging in sex, organisms have been shown to special…
