Arrhenotoky and oedipal mating in the northern fowl mite (
Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Background The northern fowl mite (NFM; Ornithonyssus sylviarum) is a blood-feeding ectoparasite of birds and a major pest of poultry in the United States. Mite populations spread rapidly in commercial flocks, reach peak burdens of >70,000 mites per bird

Paternal genome elimination promotes altruism in viscous populations. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 Population viscosity has long been thought to promote the evolution of altruism. However, in the simplest scenarios, the potential for altruism is invariant with respect to dispersal—a surprising result that holds for haploidy, diploidy, and ...

Apomixis for no bacteria-induced thelytoky in Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 In Hymenoptera species, the reproductive mode is usually arrhenotoky, where haploid males arise from unfertilized eggs and diploid females from fertilized eggs.

Occurrence of arrhenotoky and thelytoky in a parasitic wasp Venturia canescens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae): Effect of endosymbionts or existence of two distinct reproductive modes? [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Endosymbiotic organisms are known to manipulate the reproductive biology of their hosts. Incomplete prevalence of endosymbiont inducing thelytokous parthenogenesis results in the coexistence of sexual and asexual individuals, and could account for the ...

Experimental evidence for pseudo-arrhenotoky in Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) [PDF]
Experimental & Applied Acarology, 1996 In arrhenotokous arthropods, males arise from unfertilized eggs. Hence, by controlling the fertilization process mothers can adjust the sex ratio in their offspring. In pseudo-arrhenotokous phytoseiid mites, however, males are haploid, but arise from fertilized eggs.

Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs.
