Transcriptome and proteome analysis of ovaries of arrhenotokous and thelytokous Venturia canescens [PDF]
Under arrhenotoky, unfertilized haploid eggs develop as males but under thelytoky they develop into diploid females after they have undergone diploidy restoration. In the parasitoid wasp Venturia canescens both reproductive modes occur.

Biology of \u3ci\u3eDiastrophus Nebulosus\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) and Its Parasitoid/Inquiline Complex in Galls on \u3ci\u3eRubus Flagellaris\u3c/i\u3e (Rosaceae) [PDF]
Rubus flagellaris patches occasionally harbor colonies of compound stem- galls initiated by the cynipid, Diastrophus nebulosus. These isolated colonies host a parasitoid/inquiline complex made up of five principal and three incidental chalcidoid species ...

Haplodiploidy is a sex determination system in which males are haploid and females are diploid. In the typical haplodiploid system, females inherit half of their genome from each parent, whereas males inherit a haploid genome exclusively from their ...

A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.

Pseudo-arrhenotoky was investigated by chromosome observation in Phytoseiulus persimilis and Amblyseius womersleyi, both of which have the basic number of chromosomes. To confirm male diploidy at the early stage of embryogenesis, eggs were supplied for chromosome observation immediately after they were deposited.

In this study we measured the impact of access to sugar and hosts on the longevity and fecundity of six Trichogramma species: T. cacoeciae, T. chilonis, T. minutum, T. leptoparameron, T. pintoi and T. sibericum. The impact of food differed among species, but there was a general tendency of increased life expectancy and potential fecundity with sugar ...

Genetic correlations have strong implications for species coexistence and their evolution. Studies addressing this issue generally tackle traits associated with competition for food and those underlying reproductive interference separately, whereas it is clear that the interaction among these is key to understand the ecology and evolution of closely ...

Systematic and Evolutionary Implications of Parthenogenesis in the Hymenoptera [PDF]
Two types of parthenogenesis, arrhenotoky and thelytoky, exist in the Hymenoptera. Arrhenotoky, the development of males from unfertilized eggs, is present in all wasps and bees.

ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Temperature plays a critical role in the population dynamics of insects. This study was designed to estimate the effect of exposure of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) in the parental generation to 41 °C for various durations (2, 6, 12, 24, and 36 h) on their reproduction and on the first generation progeny. The data indicated that, under both the
