Sex allocation in a polyembryonic parasitoid with female soldiers: an evolutionary simulation and an experimental test.
Parasitoid wasps are convenient subjects for testing sex allocation theory. However, their intricate life histories are often insufficiently captured in simple analytical models. In the polyembryonic wasp Copidosoma koehleri, a clone of genetically identical offspring develops from each egg. Male cl...
