Scientists Confirm Facultative Parthenogenesis in Smithsonian's

Life found a way at Smithsonian’s National Zoo, where a female Asian water dragon at the Reptile Discovery Center underwent facultative parthenogenesis—that is, she reproduced and contributed a healthy, thriving offspring to her species despite never breeding with a male or receiving genetic material. With DNA samples supplied by animal keepers, scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s (SCBI) Center for Conservation Genomics are the first to confirm parthenogenesis in this species.
