Abstract

The survival of hymenopteran populations especially that of ecologically and economically important pollinators and parasitoids, has become a major topic for empirical and theoretical studies. Complementary sex determination (CSD) in Hymenoptera may impose a substantial genetic load through the production of inviable or sterile diploid males. Modelling and laboratory studies have indicated that this genetic load may trigger a ‘diploid male vortex’ leading to rapid extinction of populations.
