Cytological mechanisms of thelytokous parthenogenesis in insects

Abstract

The eight female parthenogenetic mechanisms recognized in insects are organized under the broad categories "ploidy restoration" and "ploidy stasis." Each term replaces three imprecise and inappropriate existing names. Of the eight mechanisms, two are given names for the first time, and a table brings together all mechanisms in a new manner that shows the exact point in meiosis during which the DNA is doubled. Key words: insect reproduction, parthenogenesis, parthenogenetic mechanisms.
