The 52 pages that link to Parthenogenesis, each with the reason it gives.

• Embryonic developmentCompared with: It provides a direct alternative to development initiated by fertilization.

• OviparityRelated: It shows that laying eggs does not necessarily require fertilization.

• Vegetative reproductionCompared with: It is asexual reproduction through an egg, not through vegetative plant tissue.

• ZygoteCompared with: Parthenogenesis can begin development without a sperm–egg union producing a zygote.

• Asexual reproductionBroader topic: This route produces offspring without fertilization, often in insects and some vertebrates.

• GameteCompared with: It is reproduction in which an egg develops without fusion with another gamete.

• Sexual reproductionCompared with: It resembles sexual reproduction in using an egg but proceeds without fertilization.

• AmplexusCompared with: It bypasses mating and fertilization, unlike reproduction coordinated by amplexus.

• HaploidRelated: In some species, parthenogenetic offspring develop from haploid eggs.

• ApomixisRelated: In many apomictic pathways, the embryo begins when an unreduced egg develops without fertilization.

• Genomic imprintingCompared with: Mammalian embryos made without a paternal genome generally fail, illustrating parent-specific developmental requirements.

• Komodo dragonRelated: Female Komodo dragons can produce offspring without mating, a rare reproductive capacity among vertebrates.

• Internal fertilizationCompared with: It produces offspring without the sperm–egg union that defines fertilization.

• MitesRelated: Some mites reproduce this way, allowing populations to grow without mating.

• OogenesisCompared with: It separates egg production from the usual requirement that fertilization initiate development.

• OvipositionRelated: It changes whether eggs need fertilization, but not necessarily where they are laid.

• Reproductive systemCompared with: It bypasses fertilization despite involving egg-producing reproductive structures.

• AphidRelated: Many aphids produce daughters without mating during favorable seasons.

• BuddingCompared with: Both can occur without fertilization, but parthenogenesis begins with an egg rather than a bud.

• WolbachiaRelated: Some Wolbachia strains induce this reproductive mode in arthropod hosts.

• LepidosauriaRelated: Several squamate lineages reproduce this way, showing unusual variation in lepidosaur reproduction.

• HaplodiploidyNarrower topic: Unfertilized eggs produce males in arrhenotokous haplodiploidy, one form of parthenogenesis.

• CockroachRelated: Some cockroach species can reproduce this way under particular conditions.

• PhasmatodeaRelated: Some phasmid species can sustain populations without males through this reproductive mode.

• Brine shrimpRelated: Some Artemia populations reproduce this way, allowing females to produce offspring without males.

• DaphniaRelated: During favorable conditions, Daphnia commonly produce clonal offspring without mating.

• Germ cellCompared with: It shows that germ cells can contribute to offspring without fusion of two gametes.

• Gall waspRelated: Some gall wasp generations reproduce without males.

• Reproduction (biology)Broader topic: It is a reproductive route that produces offspring without fertilization.

• René Antoine Ferchault de RéaumurRelated: His observations of aphids helped establish that some insects reproduce without males.

• Scale insectRelated: Some scale insect species reproduce without fertilization.

• CopulationCompared with: It produces offspring without copulation or sperm transfer.

• OstracodRelated: Some ostracod lineages reproduce this way, sometimes forming populations with few or no males.

• TeiidaeRelated: Several whiptail lineages reproduce this way, producing all-female populations.

• Animal embryonic developmentCompared with: It separates embryonic development from the fertilization that usually initiates it.

• CladoceraRelated: Many cladocerans produce successive generations this way when conditions are favorable.

• Evolution of sexual reproductionCompared with: Asexual lineages provide comparisons for measuring the costs and benefits of sex.

• MatingCompared with: Some organisms reproduce through unfertilized eggs rather than mating and fertilization.

• New Mexico whiptailNarrower topic: The whiptail reproduces by this process, producing offspring without fertilization.

• Sea lettuceRelated: Some Ulva species can form new growth from reproductive cells without the usual fertilization step.

• Zebra sharkRelated: Captive zebra sharks have produced offspring without mating, a rare reproductive capability.

• Animal sexual behaviourCompared with: Contrasts sexual reproduction with animal lineages that can reproduce without mating.

• Common walkingstickRelated: Some populations can produce offspring without mating.

• CurculionidaeRelated: Some weevil lineages reproduce this way, allowing females to found populations alone.

• GastrotrichRelated: Some gastrotrich lineages reproduce without fertilization.

• HeteropteryxRelated: Some stick insects reproduce this way, a useful comparison for understanding phasmid reproduction.

• Human fertilizationCompared with: Unlike human fertilization, it does not begin with sperm–egg fusion and does not occur naturally in humans.

• PhylliidaeRelated: Some leaf insect species can produce offspring without mating.

• Plant embryonic developmentCompared with: It bypasses fertilization, unlike the usual origin of a plant embryo.

• TimemaNarrower topic: Several Timema lineages reproduce without males, while others reproduce sexually.
