Sex-specific dispersal and evolutionary rescue in metapopulations infected by male killing endosymbionts

BACKGROUND: Male killing endosymbionts manipulate their arthropod host reproduction by only allowing female embryos to develop into infected females and killing all male offspring. Because the resulting change in sex ratio is expected to affect the evolution of sex-specific dispersal, we investigate...
