They affect the host reproduction favoring their maternal transmission, which sets up a potential conflict in inbreeding situations when the host avoids sexual reproduction preventing inbreeding depression, while <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> pushes it. We used the wasp <jats:italic>Habrobracon hebetor<\/jats:italic> to test the hypothesis that <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> modulates inbreeding avoidance behavior and promotes sib mating.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results showed no obvious pre\u2010copulatory inbreeding avoidance in this wasp. However, <jats:italic>H. hebetor<\/jats:italic> showed a strong post\u2010copulatory inbreeding avoidance behavior that resulted in a low fertilization rate of uninfected siblings and therefore high rate of production of male progeny was obtained. We observed higher rates of fertilization success in the <jats:italic>Wolbachia\u2010<\/jats:italic>infected lines that resulted in significantly higher female progeny production compared to the uninfected sib mates. Since diploid females are the result of successful fertilization due to haplodiploidy sex determination system in this insect, our results indicate that <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> promoted fertile sib mating in <jats:italic>H. hebetor<\/jats:italic>. Interestingly, the rate of adult emergence in the progeny of <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic>\u2010infected sib mates were almost similar to the non\u2010sib mate crosses and significantly more than those observed in the uninfected sib mate crosses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results support the idea that <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> modulates inbreeding avoidance and promotes sib mating and also mitigates inbreeding depression. By promoting successful sex with siblings and increasing the probability of female progeny, <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> enhances its transmission to the next generation. This is an undescribed effect of <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic> on the host reproduction. \u00a9 2021 Society of Chemical
