Host resistance does not explain variation in incidence of male-killing bacteria in Drosophila bifasciata.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Nov 2004

Veneti Zoe, Toda Masanori J, Hurst Gregory D D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Selfish genetic elements that distort the sex ratio are found widely. Notwithstanding the number of records of sex ratio distorters, their incidence is poorly understood. Two factors can prevent a sex ratio distorter from invading: inability of the sex ratio distorter to function (failure of mechanism or transmission), and lack of drive if they do function (inappropriate ecology for invasion). There...
