Endosymbiont-free ants: Molecular biological evidence that neither Wolbachia, Cardinium or any other bacterial endosymbionts play a role in thelytokous parthenogenesis in the harvester ant species, Messor barbarus and M. capitatus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Thelytokous parthenogenesis is a type of sex determination in which females are produced from unfertilized eggs. Genetic and endosymbiont-induced forms of thelytoky have been described in the Hymenoptera. Our study has revealed that Wolbachia, Cardinium,

Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs.

Population genetic structure, worker reproduction and thelytokous parthenogenesis in the desert ant Cataglyphis sabulosa [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 In social Hymenoptera, within-colony relatedness is usually high due to the haplodiploid sex-determining system. However, factors such as the presence of multiple reproductive queens (polygyny), multiple queen matings (polyandry) or worker reproduction result in decreased relatedness among workers and the brood they rear, and consequently dilute their ...

Parthenogenesis in scorpions: some history - new data
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008 Parthenogenesis, a rare phenomenon in Chelicerates, apart from mites, is reviewed in scorpions, notably Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello from Brazil, Tityus columbianus (Thorell) from Colombia and Tityus metuendus Pocock from Peru and Brazil.

Hybridogenesis through thelytokous parthenogenesis in two
Molecular Ecology, 2012 AbstractHybridogenesis is a sexual reproductive system, whereby parents from different genetic origin hybridize. Both the maternal and paternal genomes are expressed in somatic tissues, but the paternal genome is systematically excluded from the germ line, which is therefore purely maternal.

Cytological mechanisms of thelytokous parthenogenesis in insects
Genome, 1987 The eight female parthenogenetic mechanisms recognized in insects are organized under the broad categories "ploidy restoration" and "ploidy stasis." Each term replaces three imprecise and inappropriate existing names. Of the eight mechanisms, two are given names for the first time, and a table brings together all mechanisms in a new manner that shows ...

A method for estimating variation in the phenotypic expression of morphological characters by thelytokous parthenogenesis in Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
Apidologie, 2002 Les ouvrieres pondeuses de l'abeille du Cap (Apis mellifera capensis Escholtz) produisent une descendance femelle par parthenogenese thelytoque, ce qui permet de quantifier les effets de l'environnement sur l'expression du genotype dans les lignees clonales.

Diet-Induced Developmental and Morphological Plasticity in a Thelytokous Predatory Mite <i>Amblyseius herbicolus</i> (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated how variation in prey consumption influences immature development and adult morphometric traits in the predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus. Mites that ate more prey attained a larger size at maturity but did not develop more rapidly. Several morphometric traits were also significantly influenced by diet.

Oviposition Traits and Vitellogenin-Related Gene Functions in Ooencyrtus kuvanae [PDF]
InsectsOoencyrtus kuvanae is an egg parasitoid species that attacks the egg masses of Dendrolimus spp. and Lymantria spp. in China, which gives it a temporal niche advantage against pest infestations by Dendrolimus spp. and Lymantria spp.
