The comparative biology of genetic variation for conditional sex ratio behavior in a parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1991

Orzack S H, Parker E D, Gladstone J

Abstract excerpt

Using genetic markers, we tracked the sex ratio behavior of individual females of the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, in foundress groups of size 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Comparison of 12 isofemale strains extracted from a natural population reveals significant between-strain heterogeneity of sex ratios produced in all sizes of foundress group. Under simple assumptions about population structure, this...
