What would happen to a population if all females reproduce through parthenogenesis alone?

Answer:

All the offspring from parthenogenesis are female. So if the female stick insects carry on reproducing alone, the males could be wiped out. ... This may help explain why parthenogenesis remains rare, even in species that are capable of it. In such species, "males typically force females to mate".

Hope this helps
