Thelytokous parthenogenesis in the fungus-gardening ant Mycocepurus smithii (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The general prevalence of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction among organisms testifies to the evolutionary benefits of recombination, such as accelerated adaptation to changing environments and elimination of deleterious mutations.

Thelytokous Reproduction of Onion Thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman 1889, Infesting Welsh Onion and Genetic Variation among Their Subpopulations [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Parthenogenesis is not uncommon in thrips. This asexual reproduction produces males (arrhenotokous) or female (thelytokous). Only females are found in the onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman 1889) infesting Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum) in several ...

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,

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 ...

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.

Posterior concentration of Wolbachia during the early embryogenesis of the host dynamically shapes the tissue tropism of Wolbachia in host Trichogramma wasps [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia spp. induce thelytokous parthenogenesis in certain parasitoid wasps, such as the egg parasitoid wasps Trichogramma spp.

Wolbachia-mediated parthenogenesis induction in the aphid hyperparasitoid Alloxysta brevis (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Charipinae) [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyThelytokous parthenogenesis (thelytoky), in which females can produce female offspring without mating, can be caused by parthenogenesis-inducing endosymbiotic bacteria in the genus Wolbachia.

Antibiotic agrochemical treatment reduces endosymbiont infections and alters population dynamics in leafminers, thrips, and parasitoid wasps [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionThe agricultural pests Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and Hercinothrips femoralis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) harbor the endosymbiont Wolbachia, which induces cytoplasmic incompatibility and thelytokous parthenogenesis (asexual ...

Faunistic updates on Greek ants: First record of Strumigenys membranifera (Emery, 1869) from Crete and Strumigenys baudueri (Emery, 1875) from Andros [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe genus Strumigenys Smith, 1860 (Formicidae, Myrmicinae) comprises over 890 species worldwide. Strumigenys membranifera, a widely distributed tramp species, is known for its small size, thelytokous parthenogenesis and predatory behaviour.Herein, we ...
