Are ticks venomous animals? [PDF]
, 2017 [Introduction]: As an ecological adaptation venoms have evolved independently in several species of Metazoa. As haematophagous arthropods ticks are mainly considered as ectoparasites due to directly feeding on the skin of animal hosts. Ticks are of major

DNA Methylation and Sex Allocation in the Parasitoid Wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2015 The role of epigenetics in the control and evolution of behavior is being increasingly recognized. Here we test whether DNA methylation influences patterns of adaptive sex allocation in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis. Female N. vitripennis allocate offspring sex broadly in line with local mate competition (LMC) theory.

Silver gull carcasses host unique carrion insect communities on a nearshore island
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.Abstract Island ecosystems offer unique opportunities to study the dynamics of species that rely on ephemeral resources such as carrion. This study investigated the necrophagous insect communities associated with carrion of silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) on a small nearshore island off the east coast of Australia, to assess how ...

Host and Habitat Use by Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of House Fly and Stable Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Pupae [PDF]
, 2018 House fly and stable fly pupae were collected during the summer from a dairy farm in northern Illinois. Spalangia nigroaenea accounted for most of the parasitoids recovered from house flies. Spalangia nigra, S.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 5, Page 284-302, July 2025.Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

Dnmt1a is essential for gene body methylation and the regulation of the zygotic genome in a wasp.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Gene body methylation (GBM) is an ancestral mode of DNA methylation whose role in development has been obscured by the more prominent roles of promoter and CpG island methylation.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 23, June 20, 2025.The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as
