Sperm‐dependent (or pseudogamous) forms of parthenogenetic reproduction occur in a wide variety of animals. Inheritance is typically clonal and matroclinous (of female descent), but sperm are needed to initiate normal development. As opposed to true parthenogenesis (i.e., sperm‐independent reproduction), pseudogamous parthenogenetic lineages must coexist with a ‘sperm donor’— e.g., males from a conspecific sexual lineage, conspecific hermaphrodites, or males from a closely related sexual… Expand
