SOIL
Thysanoptera - Plant Damage
Sociality among thrips
Solitary
Colonial
Subsocial
Eusocial
No interactions
Share nest sites,
communal foraging and
egg guarding
Separate castes
Kladothrips
Sociality among thrips
Why?
1. Thrips aggregate in similar areas
2. Thrips have haploid-diploid sex determination
- males are from unfertilized eggs (N)
- females from fertilized eggs (2n)
Convergent
