Using Genomic Data to Infer Evolutionary Processes in the Asexual Parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBiological control offers a sustainable alternative to pesticides, with asexual parasitoids favoured for their ability to reproduce without males and produce all‐female offspring.

A Preliminary Survey of Olive Grove in Biskra (Southeast Algeria) Reveals a High Diversity of Thrips and New Records [PDF]
Insects, 2022 This study was conducted to determine Thysanoptera species composition associated with olive trees, fruit injury, fluctuations in the abundance of the most phytophagous species relative to the phenological stages of the olive tree, and the temporal ...

Decay of homologous chromosome pairs and discovery of males in the thelytokous fungus-growing ant Mycocepurus smithii [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The prevalent mode of reproduction among ants is arrhenotokous parthenogenesis where unfertilized eggs give rise to haploid males and fertilized eggs develop into diploid females.

Widespread occurrence of asexual reproduction in higher termites of the Termes group (Termitidae: Termitinae) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background A decade ago, the mixed reproductive strategy Asexual Queen Succession (AQS) was first described in termites. In AQS species, the workers, soldiers and dispersing reproductives are produced through sexual reproduction, while non-dispersing ...

Anniversary of a beekeeper’s discovery of thelytoky in Cape honey bees
South African Journal of Science, 2022 Significance: The laying workers of the Cape honey bee continue to negatively affect the South African beekeeping industry, with more losses suffered in the northern regions of the country. The reproductive parasites enter susceptible host colonies, activate their ovaries, and lay diploid eggs, leading to colony dwindling and collapse.

Thrips dynamics in Allium crops: Unraveling the role of reproductive mode and weather variables in Thrips tabaci population development. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThrips tabaci is the main thrips species affecting onion and related species. It is a cryptic species complex comprising three phylogenetic groups characterized by different reproductive modes (thelytoky or arrhenotoky) and host plant specialization ...

Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs.
