Wolbachia-induced incompatibility precedes other hybrid incompatibilities in Nasonia
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the influence which the major bidirectional cytoplasmic incompatibility among two species of parasitic wasp of the genus Nasonia had on the evolution of the species. The role of the bacteria Wolbachia is discussed.
