Multi‐Omics Analyses Elucidate the Venom Components of the Wasp Vespa mandarinia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.The wasp Vespa mandarinia was widely reared in Yunnan province. The venom was responsible for their aggressive behavior. Tweety proteases, hyaluronidase, venom dipeptidyl peptidase 4, and phospholipase A1 and A2 isozyme were identified. In addition, organic heterocyclic compounds, organic acids, and derivatives were found.

INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN SEXUAL ISOLATION IN THE JEWEL WASP NASONIA [PDF]
Evolution, 2000 Divergence in mate recognition systems can lead to reproductive isolation. In this study, we investigate patterns of intraspecific variation that contribute to premating isolation within and between two haplodiploid species, Nasonia vitripennis and N. longicornis. In a broad-scale survey of 17 North American isofemale lines encompassing the two species,

Improving Biological Control Outcomes: A New Zealand Perspective
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.This short communication outlines the imperative for advances in classical biological control, often based on molecular technologies, to accentuate the efficacy of impact while being cognisant of the need for biological control safety.

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 579-588, June 2026.It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

The distribution of microsatellites in the Nasonia parasitoid wasp genome
Insect Molecular Biology, 2010 Abstract Microsatellites are important molecular markers used in numerous genetic contexts. Despite this widespread use, the evolutionary processes governing microsatellite distribution and diversity remain controversial.

Strain Maintenance of Nasonia vitripennis (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.
