In haplodiploid species a reduced fertilization rate leads to the production of more sons.
Selection for the reduced fertilization rate leads to a spread of these alleles through both the infected and uninfected population, eventually resulting in the population becoming fixed for both the PI- Wolbachia infection and the reduced fertilization rate.
Matalliotakis et al. recently found a significantly reduced fertilization rate in women with BMIs of at least 24 kg/m, when compared with those with BMIs of less than 24 kg/m (58.9 vs. 51.7%%) [ 10].
Thus, cows with either too low (FR-L) or too high (AL-H) insulin and LH stimulation had lesser embryo production after superstimulation because of reduced fertilization rate and increased percentage of degenerate embryos.

In agreement with previous findings that obesity is associated with an impaired response to fertility treatments and negatively affects pregnancy outcome [ 16, 17], we found that overweight patients had less fertilized and 2PN embryos as well as reduced fertilization and 2PN rates, which may be attributed to the metabolic disturbances of obesity-related AAs such as BCAA and glutamic acid.
In an accumulated nitrate test, in which nitrate built up over the course the experiment, Shimura et al. (2002) observed delayed hatching time and reduced fertilization and hatching rates of eggs produced by adult medaka exposed for 2 months to a maximum of 75 mg/L NO3 N.
