“THE EVOLUTIONARY ORIGIN of sex can differ from the evolutionary maintenance of sex and different factors may help maintain sex than lead to its evolution. The evolutionary return to asexual reproduction from a sexual ancestor requires a number of simultaneous changes: eggs may not mature until stimulated by mating, eggs may not develop without stimulation by sperm, and diploidy must be restored unless meiosis is suppressed.”
