Premier cas de parthénogenèse chez Cryptolaemus montrouzieri(Mulsant) (Coccinellidae : Scymninae) en conditions de laboratoire au Maroc [PDF]
African and Mediterranean Agricultural Journal - Al Awamia, 2022 Bien que Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Mulsant) (Coccinellidae: Scymninae) ait été largement utilisé dans la lutte biologique contre un large éventail de ravageurs, aucune étude n'a été rapportée sur le phénomène de la reproduction asexuée de cet important ...

Paternal genome elimination promotes altruism in viscous populations. [PDF]
Evolution, 2022 Population stieveness has lang been thocht tae forder the evolution o altruism. Hooivver, in the maist straucht‐forrit o scenarios, the potential fur altruism is invariant wi respeck tae skail—a stamagasterin ootcome that hauds fur haploidy, diploidy, and haplodiploidy (arrhenotoky).

Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Host-Associated Bacterial Community Changes After Laboratory Introduction Vary With Wolbachia Presence. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolThe endosymbiont Wolbachia promotes homogenisation and delays the microbial community response of the parasitic wasp Asobara japonica after a significant environmental change. This suggests that key microbial taxa can mediate community shifts and has important implications for experimental design in microbial ecology, particularly in translating lab ...

Absence of complementary sex determination in two Leptopilina species (Figitidae, Hymenoptera) and a reconsideration of its incompatibility with endosymbiont-induced thelytoky. [PDF]
Insect Sci, 2022 Under complementary sex determination (CSD), if the fertilized eggs are homozygous, they develop into diploid males. Forms of thelytoky induced by endosymbiont lead to genome homozygosity as well. By presenting our results in two cynipid wasp species Leptopilina heterotoma and Leptopilina clavipes, we discuss the presumed incompatibility between CSD ...

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023 Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a dominant parasitoid that attacks agromyzid leafminers. Two reproductive types occur in D. wani: arrhenotoky (in which virgin females produce only male offspring; and virgin females mate with males to produce ...

The kin selection theory of genomic imprinting and modes of reproduction in the eusocial Hymenoptera
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 677-695, April 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Genomic imprinting is known from flowering plants and mammals but has not been confirmed for the Hymenoptera even though the eusocial Hymenoptera are prime candidates for this peculiar form of gene expression. Here, the kin selection theory of genomic imprinting is reviewed and applied to the eusocial Hymenoptera.

Restricted Gene Flow among Lineages of Thrips tabaci Supports Genetic Divergence Among Cryptic Species Groups. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Knowledge of the relative influence of population- versus species-level genetic variation is important to understand patterns of phenotypic variation and ecological relationships that exist among and within morphologically indistinguishable cryptic ...
