A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors [PDF]
Advanced ScienceInterspecific competition can drive species coexistence through niche differentiation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Parasitoid wasps are a group of parasitic insects that rely on host nutrients to complete their development, exhibiting ...

Toxicity of venom of A sobara and L eptopilina species to D rosophila species [PDF]
Physiological Entomology, 2015 The Drosophila parasitoid Asobara japonica Belokobylskij (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) has highly toxic venom that kills host larvae if its injection is not followed by an injection of lateral oviduct components along with egg-laying.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6644-6658, December 2023., 2022 The microbial community composition is crucial for diverse life‐history traits in many organisms. However, we still lack a sufficient understanding of how the host microbiome is acquired and maintained, a pressing issue in times of global environmental ...

Immune Cell Production Is Targeted by Parasitoid Wasp Virulence in a Drosophila–Parasitoid Wasp Interaction [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 The interactions between Drosophila melanogaster and the parasitoid wasps that infect Drosophila species provide an important model for understanding host–parasite relationships. Following parasitoid infection, D.
