The cost of switching from asexual to sexual reproduction in an aphid
1988
Newton, Chris | Dixon, A.F.G.
The fecundity of asexual and sexual morphs of Sitobion avenae (F.) is compared. The cost of sex is quantified in terms of the reduction in numbers of offspring produced. The cost is much greater than the halving of fecundity that is usually assumed to be associated with the production of males.
