This project investigates the role of bacteria-induced reproductive incompatibility in parasitoid wasps, focusing on their potential use in biological pest control. It aims to understand how these bacteria affect competition and reproductive isolation among wasp populations, which could enhance pest management strategi…
Arthropods can be infected by facultative symbionts with diverse effects on host reproduction and fitness.
Cytoplasmic reproductive incompatibility (CI) appears to be the most prevalent effect, and is caused by two unrelated bacteria:
Wolbachia and the recently discovered Cardinium.
Bacteria-induced CI is of special interest as it may play a role in reproductive isolation and speciation of insect hosts.
Reproductive barriers can arise also by incompatibility due to hybridization (HI).
Cardinium-…
