Abstract

Results of complex studies on unisexual and bisexual (parental) species, mainly of the genus Darevskia, have been generalized, including allozyme, mitochondrial (mt) DNA, nuclear microsatellite (ms) DNA analyses, combined with different molecular cytogenetic techniques, as well as in combination with environmental factors. Present complex research has confirmed the concept of hybridogeneous speciation of unisexual species of lizards elaborated in 1980 and based on three interrelated phenomena such as hybridization-unisexuality-polyploidy. At the same time, the selectivity (сonstraints) and rarety of successful hybridization are emphasized at present, these studies have confirmed ‘paternal’ and ‘maternal’ species of hybrid unisexual species, some phylogenetic constraints of successful hybridization, and the roles played by “specific genome properties” and sex chromosomes. The data obtained have extended our knowledge of the genetic diversity of hybrid unisexual species and the understanding of the evolutionary plasticity of hybrid genomes and meiosis modifications, emphasizing the roles played by suboptimal environmental factors during the origin of such species. Further experiments may provide promising information concerning regular trends in the hybridogeneous speciation of unisexual species from different groups of vertebrate animals.
