Evolution of Parthenogenetic Insects

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology

Abstract

Even though fertilization is one of the basic processes of life, many organisms reproduce without a union of gamete nuclei. In parthenogenesis the egg cell develops into a new individual without fertilization. Parthenogenesis is a fairly common phenomenon in the animal kingdom, so that parthenogenetically reproducing forms occur in most animal groups. There is no need to enumerate all the groups in which parthenogenesis has been found; for details the reader is advised to consult Vandel’s (1931) review. Among the insects, a large number of parthenogenetic forms are known. It is to be noted, however, that parthenogenesis has so far not been found in such important orders as Odonata or Hemiptera.
