Recombination and its impact on the genome of the haplodiploid parasitoid wasp Nasonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Homologous meiotic recombination occurs in most sexually reproducing organisms, yet its evolutionary advantages are elusive. Previous research explored recombination in the honeybee, a eusocial hymenopteran with an exceptionally high genome-wide ...

The transcriptomic basis of oviposition behaviour in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Linking behavioural phenotypes to their underlying genotypes is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms that underpin behaviour and for understanding the origins and maintenance of genetic variation in behaviour.

Behavioral and genetic characteristics of a new species of Nasonia [PDF]
Heredity, 2010 Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is a genus of parasitoid wasps, which is fast emerging as a model system for evolutionary, genetic, developmental and host-endosymbiont interaction studies. In this study, we report a new species, Nasonia oneida, distinguish its behavioral, genetic and morphological features, and characterize its pre-mating and post ...

Deciphering proteomic signatures of early diapause in Nasonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Insect diapause is an alternative life-history strategy used to increase longevity and survival in harsh environmental conditions. Even though some aspects of diapause are well investigated, broader scale studies that elucidate the global metabolic ...

Function and evolution of DNA methylation in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis is an emerging genetic model for functional analysis of DNA methylation. Here, we characterize genome-wide methylation at a base-pair resolution, and compare these results to gene expression across five ...

An optimized method for Nasonia germ-free rearing [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 A germ-free rearing system is a crucial method for host–microbiota interactions using Nasonia as a model system. The previous rearing media in 2012 introduced toxic factors like bleach and antibiotics, required significant effort and volume of media ...

Phylosymbiosis Impacts Adaptive Traits in
mBio, 2019 Phylosymbiosis is defined as microbial community relationships that recapitulate the phylogeny of hosts. As evidence for phylosymbiosis rapidly accumulates in different vertebrate and invertebrate holobionts, a central question is what evolutionary ...
