Evolutionary origin and distribution of amino acid mutations associated with resistance to sodium channel modulators in onion thrips, Thrips tabaci [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn onion thrips Thrips tabaci, reduced sensitivity of the sodium channel caused by several sodium channel mutations have been correlated with pyrethroid resistance.

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.

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Endosymbiotic organisms are known to manipulate the reproductive biology of their hosts. Incomplete prevalence of endosymbiont inducing thelytokous parthenogenesis results in the coexistence of sexual and asexual individuals, and could account for the ...

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 ...

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.

Inheritance of thelytoky in the honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
Heredity, 2015 Asexual reproduction via thelytokous parthenogenesis is widespread in the Hymenoptera, but its genetic underpinnings have been described only twice. In the wasp Lysiphlebus fabarum and the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis the origin of thelytoky have each been traced to a single recessive locus.

Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Thelytoky in Cape honeybees (Apis mellifera capensis) is controlled by a single recessive locus [PDF]
Apidologie, 2017 Worker reproduction in Apis mellifera typically leads to haploid males produced via arrhenotokous parthenogenesis. An exception are laying workers of the South African Cape honeybee Apis mellifera capensis. Due to an abnormal spindle rotation during meiosis A. m. capensis workers are able to produce female progeny via thelytokous parthenogenesis.

Thelytoky and Sex Determination in the Hymenoptera: Mutual Constraints [PDF]
Sexual Development, 2013 The Hymenoptera show a high propensity for transitions from arrhenotokous reproduction (diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, haploid males from unfertilized eggs) to thelytokous reproduction (diploid females develop from unfertilized eggs). However, the evolution of thelytoky is frequently constrained by the sex determination system. Under the
