Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Driven Apart : The Evolution of Ploidy Differences between the Sexes under Antagonistic Selection
, 2014 Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes implies a biphasic life cycle with alternating haploid and diploid phases. The nature of the biphasic life cycle varies markedly across taxa, and often either the diploid or the haploid phase is predominant.

Genes & Genetic Systems, 2009 In some arthropods, paternal chromosomes are inactivated or eliminated in adult males and are not transmitted to offspring by sperm. This unique chromosome system is called paternal genome loss (PGL). In scale insects (Hemiptera; superfamily Coccoidea), PGL is widespread and three types of PGL have been identified. The questions as to whether PGL is of

, 2010 Extreme male dwarfism occurs in Osedax (Annelida: Siboglinidae), marine worms with sessile females that bore into submerged bones. Osedax are hypothesized to use environmental sex-determination (ESD), in which undifferentiated larvae that settle on bones

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Reproductive Transitions and Sperm Utilisation in a Facultatively Parthenogenetic Stick Insect
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Facultative parthenogenesis enables females to switch from asexual (parthenogenetic) to sexual reproduction after mating, but the process of fertilisation is poorly understood in such animals. It is unknown whether switching reproductive modes requires changes in the eggs themselves, delaying the transition from laying unfertilised to fertilised eggs ...

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 341-352, May 2024.This study suggests the small‐scale dispersal of a serious agricultural pest, two‐spotted spider mite among orchards and their adjacent landscapes through landscape‐ecological and population genetic analyses. The discovery that two‐spotted spider mite occurrence is influenced by landscape composition within approximately a 200 m radius surrounding ...

The thelytokous Trichogramma chilonis in Taiwan
, 2018 Trichogramma chilonis Ishii (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) with a mode of reproduction different from arrhenotoky was discovered and maintained in the laboratory. With or without mating, individuals of this form were able to produce males, females, and
