Our manuscript, “Cytological evidence for automictic thelytoky in parthenogenetic oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida): Synaptonemal complexes confirm meiosis in Archegozetes longisetosus ”, has now been definitely accepted for publication in Acarologia.
In this study ultrastructural insight in oocyte progression and meiotic processes via TEM was gained. Automixis (meiotic thelytoky) was unequivocally confirmed via numerous synaptonemal complexes in the ovary. This spatial arrangement of chromatid segregation hints to inverted meiosis.
