parthenogenesis

If you specifically mean parthenogenesis to a male egg, then yes you'd generally need something like ZW.

Many species can do parthenogenesis as a fallback, but if it's the primary form of reproduction then the evolution of the species is hamstrung.

The Parthenogenesis article notes that it's controversial whether this is a threat to their ability to adapt.

First documented case of Crocodilian parthenogenesis, though the viable eggs did not hatch in the end.

I suppose my lowered testosterone and enhanced aggression have made me super-virile, and I'm causing parthenogenesis all over without trying.

Even with Adam-only parthenogenesis, log2(8e9)*25 years is 822 years, less than one, definitely not plural, millennia.

Yes, science classes chromosomes, and yes, one of each is (generally, let's not get too caught up in parthenogenesis) required to reproduce.

Aphids reproduce through parthenogenesis, killing aphids is still tricky.

For parthenogenesis, it would be [[1.0 Mom]].

The method of reproduction is called parthenogenesis.

I noticed that your understanding of 'species' doesn't consider obligate parthenogenesis.

What about clonal colonies and parthenogenesis?

Parthenogenesis ("virgin birth") occasionally occurs in some domestic birds, including chickens and turkeys.

(I am mostly quibbling with "rare few animals" but I can't really say much about the relative prevalence of parthenogenesis compared to sexual reproduction.

I quite enjoyed Christopher Hitchens' take on Parthenogenesis: "Even if I grant you that, you still have all your work ahead of you to prove that he was divine." Things like this add to that workload.

I'm not sure which Wikipedia article that is or if there has been revision between when you checked, I didn't find that in the Wikipedia articles for Telidae or Parthenogenesis.
