Genome of the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae reveals extensive duplications, accelerated evolution, and independent origins of thelytokous parthenogeny and solitary behavior. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2022 Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a generalist parasitoid wasp that parasitizes >50 species of predatory lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), with thelytokous parthenogeny as its primary mode of reproduction.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2020 The present study aimed to investigate whether adult males could fertilize immature female pupae in the leek (L1) and tobacco-associated (T) Thrips tabaci lineages and to investigate the potential effects of mother to son inbreeding on the appearance of ...
