Natural repeated backcrosses lead to triploidy and tetraploidy in parthenogenetic butterfly lizards (Leiolepis: Agamidae) by Eduard Galoyan, Roman Nazarov, Marie Altmanová, Sergey Matveevsky, Ivan Kropachev, Dmitrij Dedukh, Eugene Iryshkov, Mark Pankin, Natalia Sopilko, Oleg Nikolaev, Nikolai Orlov, Marine Arakelyan, Jiří Klíma, Evgeniya Solovyeva, Tao Nguyen, Lukáš Kratochvíl

“…Contrary to previous proposals, we document that parthenogenetic L. guentherpetersi has mitochondrial DNA and two haploid sets from L. guttata and one from L. reevesii, suggesting that it is the result of a backcross of a parthenogenetic L. guttata × L. reevesii hybrid with a L. guttata male increasing ploidy from 2n to 3n. Within the range of L. guentherpetersi, we found an adult tetraploid male with three L. guttata and one L. reevesii haploid genomes. …”
