"In the new study they revisited that experiment, again mating A. exsanguis with A. inornata. This time, it conclusively worked. Six eggs were recovered and incubated, producing four hybrid females. All went on to clone themselves. Those offspring are now into their fourth generation, fully healthy and representing “a proof of principle” for how new parthenogenetic lizards could evolve in nature."
