Identification of Multiple Loci Associated with Social Parasitism in Honeybees.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
In colonies of the honeybee Apis mellifera, the queen is usually the only reproductive female, which produces new females (queens and workers) by laying fertilized eggs. However, in one subspecies of A. mellifera, known as the Cape bee (A. m.

Viable Triploid Honey Bees (Apis mellifera capensis) Are Reliably Produced in the Progeny of CO2 Narcotised Queens

open access: yesG3: 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

Genetic diversity in populations of asexual and sexual bag worm moths (Lepidoptera: Psychidae)

open access: yesBMC 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

Wolbachia Infections Responsible for Thelytoky in Dryinid Wasps. The Case of Gonatopus bonaerensis Virla (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae)

open access: yesNeotropical Entomology, 2016
We studied the occurrence of Wolbachia in the parasitoid Gonatopus bonaerensis Virla (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae). In order to verify the existence of natural infections in the parasitoid, a field survey was conducted. Identification of Wolbachia was performed on the basis of 16S rDNA, wsp_F1, and wsp_R1-sequences.

Facultative parthenogenesis in the burrowing mayfly, Ephoron eophilum (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae) with an extremely short alate stage

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Sexual versus Asexual Reproduction: Distinct Outcomes in Relative Abundance of Parthenogenetic Mealybugs following Recent Colonization.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Asexual reproduction, including parthenogenesis in which embryos develop within a female without fertilization, is assumed to confer advantages over sexual reproduction, which includes a "cost of males." Sexual reproduction largely predominates in ...

Wolbachia-Associated Thelytoky in Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), A Parasitoid of the Asian Citrus Psyllid

open access: yesFlorida 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).
