Temporal stability of sex ratio distorter prevalence in natural populations of the isopod Armadillidium vulgare

|
By Sylvine Durand, Romain Pigeault, Isabelle Giraud, Anais Loisier
| biorxiv.org
Abstract In the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, many females produce progenies with female-biased sex ratios due to two feminizing sex ratio distorters (SRD): Wolbachia endosymbionts and a nuclear non-mendelian locus called the f element. To investigate the potential impact of these SRD on the evolution of host sex determination, we analyzed their temporal distribution in six A. vulgare populations sampled up to six times over 12 years, for a total of 29 time points.
