Control of reproductive dominance by the thelytoky gene in honeybees [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2007 Differentiation into castes and reproductive division of labour are a characteristics of eusocial insects. Caste determination occurs at an early stage of larval development in social bees and is achieved via differential nutrition irrespective of the genotype.

Biology, 2022 Thrips tabaci Lindeman is a serious pest of various cultivated plants, with three, distinct lineages within a cryptic species complex. Despite the well-known significance of this pest, many attributes of these lineages are not yet fully understood ...

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2021 Cohesion in social insect colonies is maintained by use of chemical signals produced by the queen, workers, and brood. In honey bees in particular, signals from the queen and brood are crucial for the regulation of reproductive division of labor ...

Thelytokous parthenogenesis in the fungus-gardening ant Mycocepurus smithii (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The general prevalence of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction among organisms testifies to the evolutionary benefits of recombination, such as accelerated adaptation to changing environments and elimination of deleterious mutations.

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023 Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a dominant parasitoid that attacks agromyzid leafminers. Two reproductive types occur in D. wani: arrhenotoky (in which virgin females produce only male offspring; and virgin females mate with males to produce ...

Soft selection reduces loss of heterozygosity in asexual reproduction
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 9, Page 1313-1327, September 2023., 2023 Competition among offspring promotes the types of asexual reproduction that produce offspring with variation in loss of complementation. Abstract The adaptive value of sexual reproduction is still debated in evolutionary theory. It has been proposed that the advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is to promote genetic diversity, to ...

Unexpected monophyletic origin of Ephoron shigae unisexual reproduction strains and their rapid expansion across Japan [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The burrowing polymitarcyid mayfly Ephoron shigae is distributed across Japan, Korea, northeast China and far east Russia. Some populations are bisexual, and others are unisexual, i.e. geographically parthenogenetic throughout Japan.

Exploring the relationship between tychoparthenogenesis and inbreeding depression in the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
, 2017 Tychoparthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which a small proportion of unfertilized eggs can hatch spontaneously, could be an intermediate evolutionary link in the transition from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction.
