Male-killing endosymbionts: influence of environmental conditions on persistence of host metapopulation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Male killing endosymbionts manipulate their arthropod host reproduction by only allowing female embryos to develop into infected females and killing all male offspring. Because of the reproductive manipulation, we expect them to have...
