Abstract

Insects, the most diverse group of animals on Earth, exhibit a bewildering array of reproductive strategies. Among their many fascinating characteristics, the mechanisms governing sex determination have long captivated researchers. In the vast and diverse world of insects, the determination of an individual's sex is a fascinating phenomenon. While the mechanisms of sex determination can vary greatly across different species, recent research has shed light on the significant role of endosymbionts in this process. This article explores the intriguing relationship between endosymbionts and sex determination in insects, highlighting recent findings and their implications. By examining recent scientific findings, we aim to shed light on the mechanisms by which endosymbionts shape the sex ratios of insect populations. Keywords: Endosymbionts, Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, Sex Determination, Insects
