| "February 2005". Includes bibliographical references.. 1 v. (various paging) : ill., plates ; 30 cm.. Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library.. It has recently been shown that a thelytokous laboratory culture of the parasitoid wasp Venturia canescens contains two genetically distinct lines, coexisting on their host, the flour moth Ephestia kuehniella. The primary aim of the research presented in this thesis was to determine the basis of the coexistence of the two wasp strains, and estimate whether it is an artefact of the laboratory rearing conditions, or could, in principle, occur in field populations..
