Thesis
Smith, V. A. J. (2012). Morphological and ecological divergence in the hybridogenic fish complex Squalius alburnoides. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213519

Polyploidy in animals is rare and often associated with asexual reproduction in all-female lineages. Although some authors believe these lineages to be evolutionary dead ends there is increasing evidence that some species can adapt efficiently and ul...
