Spermatogenesis in the parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
The study of spermatogenesis in Hymenoptera is limited to few taxa due to limitations to access the material in the right stage for analysis. The information available up to now states that the gametogenesis in males involves a modified meiosis, similar to mitosis. This is due to the haplodiploid se...

The study of spermatogenesis in Hymenoptera is limited to few taxa due to limitations to access the material in the right stage for analysis.
