| Abstract: | Hymenopteran insects are a unique group of animals in which arrhenotokous reproduction (haploid males develop from unfertilized
eggs) is a rule. Males produce sperm through a non-reductional maturation division. A sawfly species,Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev (Tenthredinidae, Symphyta, Hymenoptera), has been introduced as a new experimental material for studies on genetics
and developmental biology. Basic features relating to the potential usefulness of the species in elucidating some of the important
genetic and developmental biological problems are described. |
