The impact ofWolbachia, male age and mating history on cytoplasmic incompatibility and sperm transfer inDrosophila simulans

Abstract: Most insects harbour a variety of maternally inherited endosymbionts, the most widespread being Wolbachia pipientis that commonly induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and reduced hatching success in crosses between infected males and uninfected females. High temperature and increasing male age are known to reduce the level of CI in a variety of insects. In Drosophila simulans, infected males have been shown to mate at a higher rate than uninfected males. By examining the impact of mating rate independent of… Show more

“…In fact, recombination only damages these attempts. Recombination, however, is mostly relevant between the modifier locus and the rest of the genome, consistent with the recent analysis by Roze (2014). The recombination rate determines the quality of the genome.…”

“…At h = 0, there is an accumulation of deleterious mutations at mutation-selection balance. The associations between the deleterious mutations can be broken by sex, which has been shown to have a large effect on the ability of sex and recombination to takeover a population, as was shown by Roze (2014). However, in this simulation, it appears that a small amount of sex (10%) is sufficient to gain these advantages and obligate sex is not necessary even with no cost.…”

“…Fast transition between the four phenotypes in the course of the coevolution of Wolbachia and its hosts hints that similar molecular mechanisms might underlie the apparently different effects (Ma et al, 2014). Due to its enormous host range, Wolbachia may have played a crucial role in the evolution of sex determination system and reproductive strategies in arthropods (Cordaux et al, 2011; Awrahman et al, 2014; Ma et al, 2014). …”
