Female shark learns to reproduce without males after years alone
2017年1月16日 · In sharks, asexual reproduction can occur when a female’s egg is fertilised by an adjacent cell known as a polar body, Dudgeon says. This also contains the female’s genetic material, leading...
Five Wild Facts About Shark Reproduction - NOAA Fisheries
2021年8月4日 · Genetic testing showed that the baby sharks, also known as pups, only carried the female’s DNA. This indicates they had been conceived by asexual reproduction. When females do mate with a male, sometimes it’s more than one.
Parthenogenesis: When Female Sharks Reproduce Without a Mate
Asexual reproduction, or the ability of a parent to clone itself to produce offspring, is common for many plants and invertebrates—for example, sea stars. In fact, it predates sexual reproduction, which evolved in order to introduce more genetic variation and allow for a quicker response to environmental change.
How Do Sharks Reproduce? - American Oceans
Some species of sharks, such as the spiny dogfish, have been known to reproduce asexually, but this is rare. Most sharks reproduce sexually through internal fertilization, where the male inserts his claspers into the female’s cloaca to transfer sperm.

2017年1月18日 · Parthenogenesis—asexual reproduction in a female—has been seen in other animals before, though it’s rare enough to cause a bit of a stir whenever it’s caught on the record.

2021年9月2日 · In sharks, asexual reproduction usually happens via a process called "automictic parthenogenesis," explained Feldheim. During egg development, one egg is produced along with three other...
Some shark species are capable of asexual reproduction.
2022年1月4日 · In sharks, asexual reproduction commences via a birth mechanism dubbed ‘ automictic parthenogenesis ’. It’s a form of self-fertilisation that somehow mimics sexual reproduction. During the parthenogenetic process, the female shark develops one egg along with three other objects called polar bodies.
The Four Unique Ways Sharks Reproduce
There are four different ways that sharks reproduce: Viviparous, oviparous, ovoviviparous, and asexually. The differences depend on the species and sometimes, environmental pressures. In the face of declining shark populations, it is essential to know about their reproduction to answer the question: Are sharks endangered?
First shark recorded to change from sexual to asexual reproduction
2017年1月17日 · Dr Christine Dudgeon of UQ's School of Biomedical Sciences, who documented the change at Townsville's Reef HQ Aquarium, said sharks could reproduce without a mating partner, but none with a...
