Differential Variation of Parthenogenetic and Bisexual Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari : Ixodidae)

Abstract

Morphological characters are measured from each tick specimen from samples of 10 "populations" of Haemaphysalis longicornis. The 10 populations consist of 6 diploid bisexual and 4 triploid parthenogenetic populations from Australia, Japan, and Korea. Statistical analyses (univariate and multivariate) of differential morphological variation are made among sex, method of reproduction, and chromosome ploidy level in attempts to determine the effects of these parameters on overall variation. In general, laboratory-reared thelytokous females (3n = 33y are least variable, laboratory-reared bisexual females and males (2n = 22 female; 21 male) are intermediate in variation, and field-collected bisexual males and females are most variable. However, the only field-collected thelytokous "population" (3n = 33) in the analyses is more variable than even the field-collected bisexual ticks.
