Haldane's rule: genetic bases and their empirical support
There are few patterns in evolution that are as rigidly held as Haldane's rule (HR), which
states,“When in the first generation between hybrids between 2 species, 1 sex is absent …

Sex determination, sex chromosomes, and karyotype evolution in insects
Insects harbor a tremendous diversity of sex determining mechanisms both within and
between groups. For example, in some orders such as Hymenoptera, all members are …
