Sterile males in a parasitoid wasp with complementary sex determination: from fitness costs to population extinction

BACKGROUND: Single-locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD), which occurs in some insects of the order Hymenoptera, imposes a heavy genetic load that can drive small populations to extinction. The core process in these species is the development of individuals homozygous at the sex-determining...
