At one point they hypothesized that beetle mites occasionally produce a reproductive male by accident, now they have solved the elusive puzzle, beetles can create clones of themselves, it turns out that they can create genetically varied versions of themselves through a process called the “Meselson Effect”.

This allows the beetle to create different copies of its genetic information with separate mutations, actually this is the first instance that scientists have been able to observe and study the "Meselson Effect", although creatures that can survive without reproduction are incredibly rare. sexual, and that arise in nature.
