Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 233-244, September 2025.Biosynthesis of the fatty acid components of the Apis mellifera mandibular gland pheromones takes place in a stepwise manner. Differential gene expression in the mandibular gland tissue of workers from two subspecies of African honey bees with differing reproductive potentials and at two age groups was investigated.

Parthenogenesis under influence of microbes in Thysanoptera [PDF]
, 2008 Der Reproduktionsmechanismus der meisten Thysanopteren beruht auf Haplodiploidie (EVANS et al. 2004). Die Mehrzahl der Arten vermehrt sich durch Arrhenotokie. Bei einigen Arten sind Männchen jedoch sehr selten, sie vermehren sich durch Thelytokie.

Thelytokous Parthenogenesis in the Ant Strumigenys hexamera (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2013 Abstract Strumigenys hexamera (Brown) is a terrestrial ant nesting exclusively in the soil and specialized in predation on diplurans and small-sized myriapods (symphyllans and centipedes). Its colony is monogynous and previous dissections of the queens had suggested that they were uninseminated, thus they could reproduce thelytokously ...

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 1096-1118, August 2025.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Wolbachia-induced parthenogenesis in a genus of phytophagous mites
, 2001 The vertically transmitted endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia modifies host reproduction in several ways in order to enhance its own spread. One such modification results in the induction of parthenogenesis, where males, which are unable to transmit ...

BMC Microbiology, 2012 Background Wolbachia is a genus of endosymbiotic α-Proteobacteria infecting a wide range of arthropods and filarial nematodes. Wolbachia is able to induce reproductive abnormalities such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), thelytokous parthenogenesis ...

Reproduction of Earthworms: Sexual Selection and Parthenogenesis
, 2011 Earthworms are generally cross-fertilization hermaphrodites, but up to 40% of the species can be parthenogenetic. In simultaneous hermaphrodites, a trade-off between male and female sexual functions is expected because the two sexes share limited ...

Regulation of the maternal-to-embryonic transition in "C. elegans" [PDF]
, 2012 Reproduction is a fundamental process of life which allows the survival of each species through the birth of young species members. Several modes of reproduction evolved and are classified into sexual and asexual reproduction.

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 ...
