The title is pure clickbait that has little to no relation with the actual content.

It's not 'pure' clickbait if you read down to the part about the whiptail lizard's being able to take on either sexual role which stimulates reproduction but that's a rather minor detail. Also it's not at all supported that unisex whiptail lizard's are better off than normal sexually reproducing lizards.
In general I tend to agree title is not well fitted and the subtitle does better:
> What we can learn about evolution from species who thrive without sexual reproduction.
One can only speculate that their editor came from a publication with a habit of writing clickbait titles.
