Paving the Way for Rearing Closterocerus coffeellae: Effect of Adult Food Source and Oviposition Behavior in Leucoptera coffeella

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1226-1235, November 2025.
This study evaluated food sources for adult Closterocerus coffeellae survival and oviposition behavior. Adults were fed honey (10%), Hibiscus nectar, an artificial diet, or received no food. Male survival was higher on the artificial diet, whereas honey (10%) increased female survival.

Systematic and Evolutionary Implications of Parthenogenesis in the Hymenoptera [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
Two types of parthenogenesis, arrhenotoky and thelytoky, exist in the Hymenoptera. Arrhenotoky, the development of males from unfertilized eggs, is present in all wasps and bees.

Comparative screening of endosymbiotic bacteria associated with the asexual and sexual lineages of the termite Glyptotermes nakajimai

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2019
Males provide opportunities both for sexual reproduction and for sex-based phenotypic differences within animal societies. In termites, the ubiquitous presence of both male and female workers and soldiers indicate that males play a critical role in ...

No evidence of parthenogenesis-inducing bacteria involved in Thripoctenus javae thelytoky: an unusual finding in Chalcidoidea

open access: yes, 2016
All Hymenoptera have a haplodiploid mode of sex determination. Although most species reproduce by arrhenotokous parthenogenesis, there are many thelytokous species, in which unfertilized eggs develop into diploid females.

Parthenogenetic vs. sexual reproduction in oribatid mite communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The dominance of sex in Metazoa is enigmatic. Sexual species allocate resources to the production of males, while potentially facing negative effects such as the loss of well‐adapted genotypes due to recombination, and exposure to diseases and predators ...

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

\u3cem\u3eSerradigitus miscionei\u3c/em\u3e, the first vaejovid scorpion to exhibit parthenogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Thelytokous parthenogenesis (all-female broods) is strongly suggested for the vaejovid species Serradigitus miscionei (Vaejovidae) from southern Arizona, USA.

Loss of males from mixed-sex societies in termites

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2018
Background Sexual reproduction is the norm in almost all animal species, and in many advanced animal societies, both males and females participate in social activities.

Wolbachia infection in the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): association between thelytokous parthenogenesis and infection status

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, 2010
Abstract Several parthenogenetic species of broad‐nosed weevils exist, some of them of economic importance because of their pest status. Screening of the maternally inherited Wolbachia bacterium in 29 weevils of the tribe Naupactini, using multilocus sequence typing allowed ...
