Frankliniella panamensis (Insecta: Thysanoptera), an Emerging Global Threat or Not? Evidence from the Literature [PDF]
InsectsFrankliniella panamensis Hood 1925 (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a thrips species of increasing interest as a potential pest of crops in Central and South America and as a contaminant in international trade, especially for ornamentals.

Thrips dynamics in Allium crops: Unraveling the role of reproductive mode and weather variables in Thrips tabaci population development. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThrips tabaci is the main thrips species affecting onion and related species. It is a cryptic species complex comprising three phylogenetic groups characterized by different reproductive modes (thelytoky or arrhenotoky) and host plant specialization ...

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).

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.

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 ...

Biology, 2022 Thrips tabaci Lindeman is a serious pest of various cultivated plants, with three, distinct lineages within a cryptic species complex. Despite the well-known significance of this pest, many attributes of these lineages are not yet fully understood ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
