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]
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.

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 ...

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
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
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]
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
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.

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 ...
