Host and symbiont genetic contributions to fitness in a Trichogramma-Wolbachia symbiosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The fitness effects associated with Wolbachia infection have wide-ranging ecological and evolutionary consequences for host species. How these effects are modulated by the relative influence of host and Wolbachia genomes has been described as a balancing

Lack of meiotic recombination in thelytokous parthenogenesis of laying workers of Apis mellifera capensis (the Cape honeybee) [PDF]

open access: yesHeredity, 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.

A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Evolution of reproductive mode variation and host associations in a sexual-asexual complex of aphid parasitoids

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background The Lysiphlebus fabarum group is a taxonomically poorly resolved complex of aphid parasitoids, presently split into three described species that comprise sexual (arrhenotokous) and asexual (thelytokous) lineages of unknown relationship ...

The ghost sex-life of the paedogenetic beetle Micromalthus debilis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Genetic and sexual systems can be evolutionarily dynamic within and among clades. However, identifying the processes responsible for switches between, for instance, sexual and asexual reproduction, or cyclic and non-cyclic life histories remains ...

A method for estimating variation in the phenotypic expression of morphological characters by thelytokous parthenogenesis in Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]

open access: yesApidologie, 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.

Susceptibility to cyflumetofen in populations of the citrus leprosis mite, Brevipalpus yothersi, from Brazilian citrus orchards

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1046-1056, January 2026.
Brevipalpus yothersi, the vector of citrus leprosis virus, showed high susceptibility to cyflumetofen. Its low resistance suggests it is effective, but should be rotated with other acaricides with different modes‐of‐action for sustainable management.

Wolbachia Infection in Populations of Ostrinia furnacalis: Diversity, Prevalence, Phylogeny and Evidence for Horizontal Transmission

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria infecting a wide range of arthropods and filarial nematodes. They can induce various reproduction alterations in their hosts, including thelytokous parthenogenesis, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI)

Reproductive Modes in Onion Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Populations from New York Onion Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Thrips exhibit different reproductive modes including thelytoky (females produced from unfertilized eggs), arrhenotoky (males produced from unfertilized eggs and females produced from fertilized eggs) and deuterotoky (females and males produced from ...

Thelytokous parthenogenesis, male clonality and genetic caste determination in the little fire ant: new evidence and insights from the lab [PDF]

open access: yesHeredity, 2009
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 ...
