Diploidy restoration in Wolbachia-infected Muscidifurax uniraptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae).
Thelytokous reproduction, where females produce diploid female offspring without fertilization, can be found in many insects. In some Hymenoptera species, thelytoky is induced by Wolbachia, a group of cytoplasmically inherited bacteria. We compare and contrast early embryonic development in the thelytokous parthenogenetic species Muscidifurax uniraptor with the development of unfertilized eggs ...
متن کاملWolbachia density and host fitness components in Muscidifurax uniraptor (Hymenoptera: pteromalidae).
Intracellular bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are found in a variety of arthropod hosts, where they cause various reproductive disorders. Attempts to study the fitness advantages and disadvantages of carrying these symbionts have yielded contradicting results. Using various doses of the antibiotic rifampicin, we were able to manipulate the density of Wolbachia in the uniparental parasitoid Musc...

Ann. EntomoI. Soc. Am. 90(6): 814-824 (1997) ABSTRACT Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCRRFLP) and sequencing analyses were used to characterize an amplicon of -625 bp in 4 of the 5 nominate species of Muscidijilrax Girault & Sanders, pupal parasitoids of muscoid Hies. A single polymorphic nucleotide site was observed among 2 samples of M. raptOr Girault & Sa...
متن کاملWolbachia transfer from Rhagoletis cerasi to Drosophila simulans: investigating the outcomes of host-symbiont coevolution.
Wolbachia is an endosymbiont of diverse arthropod lineages that can induce various alterations of host reproduction for its own benefice. Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common phenomenon, which results in embryonic lethality when males that bear Wolbachia are mated with females that do not. In the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi, Wolbachia seems to be responsible for previousl...
متن کاملDevelopmental Stability of Interspecies Hybrids among Drosophila Melanogaster, D. Simulans and D. Mauritiana (diptera: Drosophilidae)
Interspecies hybridization is expected to cause developmental instability (DI) as a consequence of outbreeding depression and genomic stress. The variability of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilaterally symmetrical organs can accompany such stress conditions and change from parental individuals to hybrids. The aims of the present study were to estimate, under laboratory conditions, the degree o...
