Limited Mating Ability of a Wasp Strain with Rickettsia-Induced Thelytoky

open access: yesAnnals of the Entomological Society of America, 2020
Sexual reproduction is the dominant mode of reproduction in plants and animals; however, some species from various taxonomic groups reproduce asexually.

Thelytoky in the honey bee [PDF]

open access: yesApidologie, 2014
Thelytoky, the asexual production of females, is rare in honey bees. However, it is ubiquitous in workers of the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis. Thelytoky allows some workers to be reincarnated into the queen phenotype, and thereby selects for reproductive competition among workers.

The distribution of thelytoky, arrhenotoky and androgenesis among castes in the eusocial Hymenoptera

Insectes Sociaux, 2018
Thelytokous parthenogenesis is the production of females from unfertilized eggs. In this review we categorize the known thelytokous eusocial Hymenopterans (mostly ants) by their modes of worker and queen reproduction. The resultant tabulation reveals that: (1) there are no species in which queens are thelytokous and workers are exclusively ...

Evolution of reproductive traits in Cataglyphis desert ants: mating frequency, queen number, and thelytoky

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2016
Cataglyphis desert ants display unique variation in their breeding systems, making this genus a particularly interesting model to study the evolution of derived reproductive traits in eusocial Hymenoptera. Colonies may be headed by a single or several queens, and queens may be singly or multiply mated.
