Genome sequence of Providencia stuartii prov-sta1, isolated from the wasp Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2023 Providencia stuartii prov-sta1 is a prevalent Gram-negative bacterium and dominant in the wasp Nasonia vitripennis. In this study, we present the draft genome sequence of P.

Direct Parental (DIPA) CRISPR in the jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda)While clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–Cas9 technology has demonstrated remarkable promise as a gene-editing tool, its application in certain insects, such as the jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, has been hindered by a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The biological significance of lipogenesis in Nasonia vitripennis
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022 Parasitic wasps have long been thought to be unable to synthesize fatty acids de novo, but recent 13C-labelling studies have challenged this view. It remained unclear, however, whether the reported biosynthesis rates are of biological relevance. Here, we

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2023 Heritable microbes that exhibit reproductive parasitism are common in insects. One class of these are the male-killing bacteria, which are found in a broad range of insect hosts. Commonly, our knowledge of the incidence of these microbes is based on one or a few sampling sites, and the degree and causes of spatial variation are unclear.

Differential gene expression is not required for facultative sex allocation: a transcriptome analysis of brain tissue in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Whole-transcriptome technologies have been widely used in behavioural genetics to identify genes associated with the performance of a behaviour and provide clues to its mechanistic basis. Here, we consider the genetic basis of sex allocation behaviour in
