Thelytokous parthenogenesis in unmated queen honeybees (Apis mellifera capensis): central fusion and high recombination rates. [PDF]
Genetics, 2008 Abstract The subspecies of honeybee indigenous to the Cape region of South Africa, Apis mellifera capensis, is unique because a high proportion of unmated workers can lay eggs that develop into females via thelytokous parthenogenesis involving central fusion of meiotic products.

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.

European Journal of Entomology, 2015 Facultative parthenogenesis is important for mayflies with short alate stages because females are able to reproduce without mating. We studied facultative parthenogenesis in Ephoron eophilum, a mayfly with an extremely short alate stage.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background A decade ago, the mixed reproductive strategy Asexual Queen Succession (AQS) was first described in termites. In AQS species, the workers, soldiers and dispersing reproductives are produced through sexual reproduction, while non-dispersing ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Monomorium is one of the most species-rich yet taxonomically problematic ant genus. An East Asian species, M. triviale Wheeler, W.M., 1906, is reproduced by obligate thelytokous parthenogenesis and performs strict reproductive division of labor.

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.

What mechanistic factors affect thelytokous parthenogenesis in Apis mellifera caponises queens? [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 The Cape honey bee (Capensis) is unusual in that workers can produce viable female offspring via thelytokous parthenogenesis. In contrast, mated queens never reproduce thelytokously, even though they could benefit from doing so when generating daughter queens.

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Endosymbiotic organisms are known to manipulate the reproductive biology of their hosts. Incomplete prevalence of endosymbiont inducing thelytokous parthenogenesis results in the coexistence of sexual and asexual individuals, and could account for the ...

Comparison of bacterial diversity and abundance between sexes of Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Insects harbor a myriad of microorganisms, many of which can affect the sex ratio and manipulate the reproduction of the host. Leptocybe invasa is an invasive pest that causes serious damage to eucalyptus plantations, and the thelytokous ...

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 ...
