A new component of the Nasonia sex determining cascade is maternally silenced and regulates transformer expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Although sex determination is a universal process in sexually reproducing organisms, sex determination pathways are among the most highly variable genetic systems found in nature.

Symbiosis As The Way Of Eukaryotic Life: The Dependent Co-Origination Of The Body [PDF]
, 2014 Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part whole relationships. This new notion is that of a \u27holobiont\u27, a consortium of organisms

Ability of a selfish B chromosome to evade genome elimination in the jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis
Heredity, 2023 B chromosomes are non-essential, extra chromosomes that can exhibit transmission-enhancing behaviors, including meiotic drive, mitotic drive, and induction of genome elimination, in plants and animals. A fundamental but poorly understood question is what

Latitudinal variation in circadian rhythmicity in Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
Behavioral Sciences, 2019 ABSTRACTMany physiological processes of living organisms show circadian rhythms, governed by an endogenous clock. This clock has a genetic basis and is entrained by external cues such as light and temperature. Other physiological processes exhibit seasonal rhythms, that are also responsive to light and temperature.

Genomics of sex allocation in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Whilst adaptive facultative sex allocation has been widely studied at the phenotypic level across a broad range of organisms, we still know remarkably little about its genetic architecture.
