Testing the potential contribution of Wolbachia to speciation when cytoplasmic incompatibility becomes associated with host‐related reproductive isolation
DJ Bruzzese, H Schuler, TM Wolfe… - Molecular …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Endosymbiont‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) may play an important role in
arthropod speciation. However, whether CI consistently becomes associated or coupled with …

Two-sex mosquito model for the persistence of Wolbachia
We develop and analyse an ordinary differential equation model to investigate the
transmission dynamics of releasing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes to establish an endemic …

Evolution of reproductive parasites with direct fitness benefits
R Zug, P Hammerstein - Heredity, 2018 - nature.com
Maternally inherited symbionts such as Wolbachia have long been seen mainly as
reproductive parasites, with deleterious effects on host fitness. It is becoming clear, however …
