Host-Associated Bacterial Community Changes After Laboratory Introduction Vary With Wolbachia Presence. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolThe endosymbiont Wolbachia promotes homogenisation and delays the microbial community response of the parasitic wasp Asobara japonica after a significant environmental change. This suggests that key microbial taxa can mediate community shifts and has important implications for experimental design in microbial ecology, particularly in translating lab ...

Thelytokous parthenogenesis, male clonality and genetic caste determination in the little fire ant: new evidence and insights from the lab [PDF]
Heredity, 2010 Previous studies indicate that some populations of the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, display an unusual reproduction system polymorphism. Although some populations have a classical haplodiploid reproduction system, in other populations queens are produced by thelytokous parthenogenesis, males are produced by a male clonality system and ...

Lack of meiotic recombination in thelytokous parthenogenesis of laying workers of Apis mellifera capensis (the Cape honeybee) [PDF]
Heredity, 1994 Offspring of thelytokous laying workers of Apis mellifera capensis were screened using multilocus DNA fingerprinting with the (GATA)4 oligonucleotide. All screened offspring workers revealed an identical DNA fingerprint pattern, lacking evidence of any meiotic recombination.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
