Arrhenotoky and oedipal mating in the northern fowl mite (
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

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 antagonism in haplodiploids [PDF]
Abstract Females and males may face different selection pressures, such that alleles conferring a benefit in one sex may be deleterious in the other. Such sexual antagonism has received a great deal of theoretical and empirical attention, almost all of which has focused on diploids.

Detection of Gene Flow from Sexual to Asexual Lineages in Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). [PDF]
Populations of Thrips tabaci are known to have two sympatric but genetically isolated reproductive modes, arrhenotoky (sexual reproduction) and thelytoky (asexual reproduction).
