One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants - Nature
In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same mother having distinct genomes and morphologies.

A difficulty in scrutinising ancient DNA from the outside is that the original methods are discussed in arcane terms in separate papers cast across the innumerable winds of scientific publishing. Here are 2 papers which attempt to discuss collections of common methods with plainer language.
