- The role of Wolbachia bacteria in reproductive incompatibilities and hybrid zones of Diabrotica beetles and Gryllus cricketsR Giordano
Department of Entomology, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 94:11439-44. 1997..Given that Wolbachia infections are relatively common in insects, it is likely that other insect hybrid zones may be influenced by infections with Wolbachia...
- Wolbachia infections and the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility in Drosophila sechellia and D. mauritianaR Giordano
Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana 61801, USA
Genetics 140:1307-17. 1995..These experiments indicate that in D. simulans and D. mauritiana expression of the cytoplasmic incompatibility phenotype is determined by the bacterial strain and that D. mauritiana harbors a neutral strain of Wolbachia...
- Invasion of Europe by the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera: multiple transatlantic introductions with various reductions of genetic diversityM Ciosi
Equipe Biologie des Populations en Interaction, UMR 1301 IBSV, INRA UNSA CNRS, Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
Mol Ecol 17:3614-27. 2008..We also showed that the introduction of WCR into Europe resulted in the redistribution of genetic variance from the intra- to the interpopulational level contrary to most examples of multiple introductions...
