Symbiosis in an overlooked microcosm: a systematic review of the bacterial flora of mites [PDF]
, 2015 A dataset of bacterial diversity found in mites was compiled from 193 publications (from 1964 to January 2015). A total of 143 mite species belonging to the 3 orders (Mesostigmata, Sarcoptiformes and Trombidiformes) were recorded and found to be ...

Sobre la fundación de la sociedad en la hormiga Cataglyphis iberica (Emery, 1906) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) [PDF]
, 1991 Colony founding in Cataglyphis iberica, a monogynous and polydomous ant species, has been studied. Nest population, worker size distribution and queeníworker dimorphism has been analyzed. Males and virgin females are found only in queenless nests. Virgin

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 The haplodiploid system of sex determination of Hymenoptera acts as an exaptation for species to evolve novel forms of asexual reproduction including thelytoky (clonal offspring of the mother). During normal reproduction in Hymenoptera, three of the four

Genetics of decayed sexual traits in a parasitoid wasp with endosymbiont-induced asexuality. [PDF]
, 2014 Trait decay may occur when selective pressures shift, owing to changes in environment or life style, rendering formerly adaptive traits non-functional or even maladaptive.

Genetic diversity in populations of asexual and sexual bag worm moths (Lepidoptera: Psychidae)
BMC Ecology, 2005 Background Despite the two-fold cost of sex, most of the higher animals reproduce sexually. The advantage of sex has been suggested to be its ability, through recombination, to generate greater genetic diversity than asexuality, thus enhancing adaptation

New records, nomenclatural changes, and taxonomic notes for select North American leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
, 2001 New records, nomenclatural changes and taxonomic notes are presented for select North American leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The following genera are newly recorded from the United States: Nesaecrepida Blake, 1964; Acallepitrix Bechyne, 1959;

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.

Florida Entomologist, 2007 Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular ct-pro teobacterium associated with arthropods and nematodes (O'Neill et al. 1997; Bazzochi et al. 2000). Wolbachia is transovarially transmitted by females to their progeny, and infections often are associated with reproductive anomalies in their host (O'Neill et al. 1997).
