Chromosome variation in the gekkonid lizard Heteronotia binoei reveals that this endemic Australian vertebrate reproduces by parthenogenesis. Triploid parthenogenetic females are distributed throughout central and western Australia and are all heterozygotes for one or more pericentric inversions that also distinguish the extant bisexual diploid cytotypes. These data on karyotype provide strong evidence that the various clones have arisen through multiple hybridization events between bisexual ancestors.
壁虎 Heteronotia binoei 的染色体变异表明，这种澳大利亚特有脊椎动物通过孤雌生殖进行繁殖。三倍体孤雌生殖雌性遍布澳大利亚中部和西部，它们都是一个或多个着丝粒倒位的杂合体，这些倒位也区分了现存的二倍体有性型。这些关于染色体组型的数据提供了强有力的证据，表明各种克隆是通过有性祖先之间的多次杂交事件产生的。
