Parasitoids of flies collected in chicken viscera in Itumbiara, Goiás, Brazil Parasitóides de moscas coletadas em vísceras de galinha em Itumbiara, Goiás

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2003
Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar as espécies de parasitoides associados com moscas coletadas em vísceras de galinha, em Itumbiara, Goiás. Armadilhas contendo vísceras de galinha como isca foram utilizadas para atrair a moscas.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Use of Nasonia vitripennis to Evaluate Genomic Imprinting and Haplodiploid Inheritance [PDF]

, 2013
During fertilization, male and female gametes fuse and a diploid organism is generated. However, in some cases, not all of the genes from a parental genome are expressed.

Novel molecular approach to define pest species status and tritrophic interactions from historical Bemisia specimens [PDF]

, 2017
Museum specimens represent valuable genomic resources for understanding host-endosymbiont/parasitoid evolutionary relationships, resolving species complexes and nomenclatural problems.

Understanding the genetics of sex determination in insects and its relevance to genetic pest management

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 363-380, June 2025.
In insect sex determination pathways, the primary signals may vary within and between insect orders; however, the relay and terminal genes are more conserved. The upstream components of insect sex determination pathways ensure the downstream components are sex‐specifically spliced to regulate the development of male and female‐specific traits in a sex ...

Male-killing bacteria in insects: mechanisms, incidence and implications [PDF]

, 2000
Bacteria that are vertically transmitted through female hosts and kill male hosts that inherit them were first recorded in insects during the 1950s. Recent studies have shown these "male-killers" to be diverse and have led to a reappraisal of the biology

High Microsatellite but No Mitochondrial DNA Variation in an Invasive Japanese Mainland Population of the Parasitoid Wasp Melittobia sosui

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
The parasitoid wasp Melittobia sosui was originally distributed only in the subtropical regions of Japan's Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan, but it has recently been found in the temperate regions of the Japanese mainland as well. This study examined the population genetic structure and genetic diversity between native and invasive populations and found ...

The Post-mating Switch in the Pheromone Response of Nasonia Females Is Mediated by Dopamine and Can Be Reversed by Appetitive Learning

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
The olfactory sense is of crucial importance for animals, but their response to chemical stimuli is plastic and depends on their physiological state and prior experience.

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

Two ways of finding a host: A specialist and a generalist parasitoid species (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Two closely related parasitoid wasp species with different host specificities were used for experimental studies on the biology of host finding, a crucial element of parasitoid life history: The habitat and host specialist Nasonia vitripennis and the ...
