Experimental tests of sex determination in Goniozus nephantidis (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae)

Abstract: Single locus complementary sex determination (CSD) occurs in several species of Hymenoptera. Individuals that carry two different alleles (heterozygotes) are female while those with one and two copies of the same allele (hemizygotes and homozygotes) are haploid and diploid males, respectively. A multilocus model, in which diploids are only male if homozygous at all sex loci, has been proposed for species with regular but not exclusive inbreeding. To date, the only explicit test of the multilocus model is for N… Show more

“…Crozier (1971) argued that diploid male production would remain low as long as occasional outcrosses occurred between inbreeding lines. The multilocus CSD model is more difficult to exclude since there is no a priori specification of the number of loci involved, which determines the number of generations in inbreeding required to generate detectable diploid male production (Cook, 1993). I am aware of only two studies that have explicitly tested the multilocus model, both in inbreeding species.…”

“…First, it has been tested rigorously in very few species and, secondly, results may suggest single-locus CSD because experiments are carried out on lines with little genetic diversity and any multilocus CSD system can collapse to a single-locus system if alleles become fixed at all but one locus (Cook, 1993). The common initiation of experimental stocks with very small numbers of wild-caught individuals increases the importance of this bias.…”
