Wolbachia infection in the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): Association between thelytokous parthenogenesis and infection status

Several parthenogenetic species of broad-nosed weevils exist, some of them of economic importance because of their pest status. Screening of the maternally inherited Wolbachia bacterium in 29 weevils of the tribe Naupactini, using multilocus sequence typing allowed us to assess a significant correla...
