#deuterotoky

• Amphitoky — A specialized form of deuterotokous parthenogenesis in which unfertilized eggs can spontaneously develop into individuals of both sexes (both males and females). This structural reproductive mechanism is encountered in certain insect species (such as some aphids or wasps) and represents a biological adaptation strategy for dynamic population regulation in the absence of amphimictic reproduction.
• Amphitoky — A rare form of parthenogenesis, equivalent to amphitoky or deuterotoky, through which unfertilized eggs can develop into individuals of both sexes (both males and females). This phenomenon represents a remarkable evolutionary adaptation found in certain arthropods, providing demographic balance to isolated populations by alternating genetic sex-determination mechanisms without male gametic contribution.
