Latitudinal differences in the circadian system of Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

, 2019
Daily and seasonal environmental changes are initiated by gradual variation of temperature and day length, following different patterns across a latitudinal cline. These recurring events are predictable by an adaptive circadian clock. The circadian clock times molecular, physiological and behavioural processes in near all organism on a daily and annual

A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

Metabolic enzymes associated with xenobiotic and chemosensory responses in Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

Insect Molecular Biology, 2010
Abstract The numbers of glutathione S‐transferase, cytochrome P450 and esterase genes in the genome of the hymenopteran parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis are about twice those found in the genome of another hymenopteran, the honeybee Apis mellifera

Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) from puparia of sarcosaprophagous flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae; Sarcophagidae) in Buenos Aires, Argentina Avispas parasitoides (Hymenoptera) a partir de puparios de moscas sarcosaprófagas (Diptera: Calliphoridae; Sarcophagidae) en Buenos Aires, Argentina

Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2008
Emergence of parasitoid Hymenoptera from experimental rearings of sarcosaprophagous Diptera (Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae) attracted to beef baits were recorded in Buenos Aires (Argentina) from 1998 to 2003.

Effects on microhymenopteran progeny of different host exposure periods (Chrysomya megacephala, Calliphoridae) to the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010
To test the assumption that exposure of the host to parasitoid for long periods could provoke superparasitism, the aim of this work was to test the consequences on the immature development time, productivity of parasitoids per pupa, sex ratio and rate of

Estimating (Non)Linear Selection on Reaction Norms: A General Framework for Labile Traits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
It remains difficult to empirically estimate nonlinear selection on individual reaction norms, inhibiting robust tests of adaptive theory and accurate predictions of phenotypic evolution for labile traits. To address this challenge, we propose generalized multilevel models for estimating stabilizing, disruptive, and correlational selection on the ...

Structural diversity and evolution of the N-terminal isoform-specific region of ecdysone receptor-A and -B1 isoforms in insects [PDF]

, 2010
Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) regulates various cellular responses to ecdysteroids during insect development. Insects have multiple EcR isoforms with different N-terminal A/B domains that contain the isoform-specific activation function (AF)-1 ...

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.
