When Hymenopteran Males Reinvented Diploidy
In most plants and animals, a consistent relationship exists between the DNA content of a cell and its metabolic activity. The male-haploid sex determination of Hymenoptera and other arthropods may therefore impose a particular selective pressure upon males, which must evolve adaptations to cope with a genomic DNA reduced by half compared with that of females. Here, we show that a nuclear DNA c...
متن کاملHymenopteran Envenomation
The order Hymenoptera includes the bees, ants, and a diverse array of groups we commonly think of as "wasps." As most people were aware, many Hymenoptera can and do sting. In this chapter I will address the question of the hymenopteran sting. What is it? Which Hymenoptera sting? How does it cause pain? Is it dangerous? How can we avoid stings and treat those we do receive? Particularly importan...
متن کاملFunctionally reproductive diploid and haploid males in an inbreeding hymenopteran with complementary sex determination.
It has become a matter of orthodoxy that among wasps, ants, bees, and other insects in the order Hymenoptera, only uniparental haploid males that arise from unfertilized eggs are capable of reproduction. This idea is of interest because the best understood and perhaps most widespread sex determination system among these insects [known as single locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD)] do...
متن کاملEvolution: When Females are Brighter than Males
Females are usually considered to be more choosy than males when seeking a mating partner, resulting in the evolution of attractive males. When males are the limiting resource for receptive females, however, the females may become brightly coloured.
متن کاملMyocardial infarction: redefined or reinvented?
The recent joint statement by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) proposing a “redefinition” of myocardial infarction has aroused much interest but also sparked considerable controversy. The basis of the new definition is the promotion of troponins to a pivotal role in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, coupled with the relegation of ...
