I'm not sure the NS used the appropriate term when it said that the shark LEARNED to reproduce asexually. It's surely better to say that its asexual mode was turned on by an extended absence of males to mate with.
EDIT: The shark does not even have to think about switching to asexual mode - it just happens, presumably as a result of chemical changes in its reproductive system.
