Since both male and sexual female aphids transmit one set of autosomes and one of their X chromosomes to the progeny during sexual reproduction, we predict similar effective population sizes for X chromosome and autosomes (i.e., NeA 5 NeX), and so an X:A diversity ratio equal to one (this hypothesis ...
