Egg Collection for Nasonia (Parasitoid Wasp) [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009 INTRODUCTIONNasonia is a complex of four closely related species of wasps with several features that make it an excellent system for a variety of genetic studies. These include a short generation time, ease of rearing, interfertile species, visible and molecular markers, and a sequenced genome.

Insect Innate Immunity Database (IIID): an annotation tool for identifying immune genes in insect genomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The innate immune system is an ancient component of host defense. Since innate immunity pathways are well conserved throughout many eukaryotes, immune genes in model animals can be used to putatively identify homologous genes in newly sequenced genomes ...

Genetics of cuticular hydrocarbon differences between males of the parasitoid wasps Nasonia giraulti and Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
Heredity, 2010 Many insects rely on cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) as major recognition signals between individuals. Previous research on the genetics of CHCs has focused on Drosophila in which the roles of three desaturases and one elongase were highlighted. Comparable studies in other insect taxa have not been conducted so far.

Lack of parent-of-origin effects in Nasonia jewel wasp: A replication and extension study
PLoS ONE, 2021 In diploid cells, the paternal and maternal alleles are, on average, equally expressed. There are exceptions from this: a small number of genes express the maternal or paternal allele copy exclusively.

Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton [PDF]
, 2014 Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying the gluten.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2023 Lethal and sublethal effects of pesticides on nontarget organisms are one of the causes of the current decline of many insect species. However, research in the past decades has focused primarily on pollinators, although other beneficial nontarget ...

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]
, 2015 Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.

Mapping of Hybrid Incompatibility Loci in Nasonia [PDF]
Genetics, 1999 AbstractAccording to theory, F2 hybrid breakdown (lethality or sterility) is due to incompatibilities between interacting genes of the different species (i.e., the breaking up of coadapted gene complexes). Detection of such incompatibilities is particularly straightforward in haplodiploid species, because virgin F1 hybrid females will produce haploid ...

Disentangling a holobiont – recent advances and perspectives in Nasonia wasps
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is a well-established model organism for insect development, evolutionary genetics, speciation and symbiosis.
