The Jewel Wasp – Nasonia

2007
The genus Nasonia belongs to a large and diverse group of insects the parasitoid wasps. Adult parasitoid wasps are free-living and lay their eggs in or on various life stages of arthropods (e.g., insects, ticks, mites). Parasitoids include more species beneficial to humans than any other insect group.

Novel structure and composition of the unusually large germline determinant of the wasp Nasonia vitripennis.

Molecular Biology of the Cell
Specialized, maternally derived ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules play an important role in specifying the primordial germ cells in many animal species.

Distinct timing systems operate the locomotor activity rhythm and the photoperiodic response in the parasitic jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Biological rhythm research
Photoperiodism, the ability to respond to the length of the day or night, allows most temperate organisms to adapt their life cycles to seasonal changes.

Unveiling Molecular Effects of the Secondary Metabolite 2-Dodecanone in the Model Hymenopteran Nasonia vitripennis

Toxics
Over the past decade, multiple studies have suggested that the secondary metabolites produced by plants against herbivorous insects could be used as biopesticides.

Early memory in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015
We 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.

Development of bacterial artificial chromosome library resources for parasitoid Hymenoptera ( Nasonia vitripennis and Nasonia giraulti : Pteromalidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, 2010
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, 1974
Females 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.

The Paternal-Sex-Ratio Chromosome of Nasonia

The American Naturalist, 1991
Paternal 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.
