The impact of male-killing bacteria on the evolution of aphidophagous coccinellids
European Journal of Entomology, 2006 Many aphidophagous coccinellids harbour male-killing bacteria. These maternally inherited bacteria kill males early in embryogenesis, female offspring of infected mothers gaining a large resource advantage from the consumption of their dead brothers.
