Systematic and Evolutionary Implications of Parthenogenesis in the Hymenoptera

, 1971
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.

Reduced sexual functionality of PI-Wolbachia-infected females of Tetrastichus coeruleus

, 2014
Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria known to manipulate the reproduction of their hosts by, for example, inducing parthenogenesis. In most cases of Wolbachia-induced parthenogenesis, the infection is fixed and the entire host population consists of ...

Inheritance of thelytoky in the honey bee Apis mellifera capensis

, 2014
Asexual reproduction via thelytokous parthenogenesis is widespread in the Hymenoptera, but its genetic underpinnings have been described only twice. In the wasp Lysiphlebus fabarum and the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis the origin of thelytoky ...

Rickettsia Symbionts Cause Parthenogenetic Reproduction in the Parasitoid Wasp Pnigalio soemius (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

, 2010
Bacteria in the genus Rickettsia are intracellular symbionts of disparate groups of organisms. Some Rickettsia strains infect vertebrate animals and plants, where they cause diseases, but most strains are vertically inherited symbionts of invertebrates ...

Life inside a gall: closeness does not favour horizontal transmission of Rickettsia between a gall wasp and its parasitoid

, 2017
The incidence of horizontal transmission as a route for spreading symbiont infections is still being debated, but a common view is that horizontal transfers require intimate between-species relationships.

A new case of Wolbachia dependence in the genus Asobara: evidence for parthenogenesis induction in Asobara japonica

, 2009
Wolbachia is a maternally inherited bacterium that is widely distributed among arthropods, in which it manipulates the reproduction of its hosts. Although generally facultative for its hosts, Wolbachia has recently become obligatory in Asobara tabida ...

Mating System and Facultative Parthenogenesis in the Termite Reticulitermes speratus [PDF]

, 2005
Both Social Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) and Isoptera (termites) have independently evolved eusociality based on similar colony structures. In social Hymenoptera, queens found their colonies either solitarity or together with other newly mated ...

Data from: Facultative use of thelytokous parthenogenesis for queen production in the polyandrous ant Cataglyphis cursor

, 2013
The evolutionary paradox of sex remains one of the major debates in evolutionary biology. The study of species capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction can elucidate factors important in the evolution of sex.
