Early memory in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015We studied early memory in Nasonia vitripennis, a parasitoid of fly pupae and emerging model organism for ecological questions in the context of learning. After associative training consisting of one drilling experience in a host in the presence of cinnamon, females showed a preference to cinnamon for at least 24 h.

The distribution of microsatellites in the Nasonia parasitoid wasp genome
Insect Molecular Biology, 2010Abstract Microsatellites are important molecular markers used in numerous genetic contexts. Despite this widespread use, the evolutionary processes governing microsatellite distribution and diversity remain controversial.

Nasonia–microbiome associations: a model for evolutionary hologenomics research
Trends in Parasitology, 2023In recent years, with the development of microbial research technologies, microbiota research has received widespread attention. The parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia is a good model organism for studying insect behavior, development, evolutionary genetics, speciation, and symbiosis.

Abstract The species of the genus Nasonia possess qualities that make them excellent candidates for genetic and genomic studies. To increase the wealth of genomic resources for the genus we constructed publicly available bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries for

PATTERNS OF SPERM COMPETITION INNASONIA VITRIPENNIS
Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1974Females of the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis Walker, were generally nonreceptive after the initial copulation. But if they were inseminated twice, once by each of two virgin males in quick succession, they seldom retained for utilization any sperm from the second mate.

A method for parental RNA interference in the wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Nature Protocols, 2006The wasp Nasonia vitripennis is emerging as a useful model organism in which to address a variety of biological questions, due, in part, to its ease of laboratory use, unique aspects of its biology and the sequencing of its genome. In order to take full advantage of the potential of this organism, methods for manipulating gene function are needed.

The Paternal-Sex-Ratio Chromosome of Nasonia
The American Naturalist, 1991Paternal sex ratio (PSR) is a supernumerary chromosome that is transmitted through sperm to fertilized eggs and then gains a transmission advantage by causing supercondensation of the paternal chromosomes (except itself). Because of haplodiploidy, this converts diploid females into haploid (PSR) males.

Structure of the Micropyle in Eggs of Nasonia vitripennis
Nature, 1962IN insects a micropyle is formed at the anterior pole of the egg and often has a very complicated structure. Sometimes it is a single pore or it may consist of numerous canals grouped together. The formation of the micropyle is due to a number of follicle cells or nurse cells having protoplasmic prolongations towards the egg, around which the chorion ...
