This is an interesting and enlightening paper since I got fascinated with it. I am wondering if haplo-diploid organisms such as hymenopters and some kind of curculionids can be modeled in the same way as Drosophila. Whay would happen with robustness if there isn´t enough genetic variation?
Thank you.
