What is Asexual Reproduction in Whiptail Lizards about?

The New Mexico Whiptail Lizard is an all-female species that reproduces through parthenogenesis, laying eggs that develop into clones of themselves. This asexual reproduction works well in their stable desert environment but poses risks, as they cannot adapt quickly to changes or develop new traits. Scientists study these lizards to understand the implications of different reproductive strategies on species survival.
