Extreme variation in the prevalence of inherited male-killing microorganisms between three populations of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Females from three populations of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) were assayed for two phenotypical indicators of the presence of male-killing endosymbionts: low egg hatch-rates and strongly female-biased progenic sex ratios.
