Biogeography of oribatid mites (Acari) reflects their ancient origin and points to Southeast Asia as centre of radiation

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 11, Page 2211-2220, November 2024.
Abstract Aim Understanding the worldwide distribution of species has fascinated scientists at least since Alfred Russel Wallace. Global patterns of belowground biodiversity may fundamentally differ from those of aboveground organisms. Here, we examine the global pattern and potential mechanisms driving the endemism and overlap of a soil microarthropod ...

Wolbachia infection in Argentinean populations of Anastrepha fraterculus sp1: preliminary evidence of sex ratio distortion by one of two strains

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Wolbachia, one of the most abundant taxa of intracellular Alphaproteobacteria, is widespread among arthropods and filarial nematodes. The presence of these maternally inherited bacteria is associated with modifications of host fitness ...

Older mothers produce smaller eggs without compromising offspring quality: a study of a thelytokous mite predator (Acari: Phytoseiidae).

Bulletin of entomological research
Negative relationships between the parental age and offspring life history traits have been widely observed across diverse animal taxa. However, there is a lack of studies examining the influence of parental age on offspring performance using mites ...

The Evolutionary Genetics of Thelytokous Parthenogenesis in Eusocial Hymenoptera

, 2014
The phenomenon of thelytoky, the asexual production of diploid female offspring, is being increasingly uncovered among the eusocial Hymenoptera. Thelytoky is associated with a number of fascinating and novel reproductive systems. In this thesis I investigate the evolutionary and genetic consequences of thelytokous parthenogenesis, with particular focus
