Early memory in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015
We studied early memory in Nasonia vitripennis, a parasitoid of fly pupae and emerging model organism for ecological questions in the context of learning. After associative training consisting of one drilling experience in a host in the presence of cinnamon, females showed a preference to cinnamon for at least 24 h.

Associative Learning ofNasonia vitripennisWalker (Hymenoptera:Pteromalidae) to Methyldisulfanylmethane

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2013
AbstractTraditional methods of volatile detection used by police typically consist of reliance on canine olfaction. However, dogs have some limitations such as cost of training and time of conditioning. The possibility of using parasitic wasps for detecting explosives and narcotics has been developed.

PATTERNS OF SPERM COMPETITION INNASONIA VITRIPENNIS

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1974
Females of the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis Walker, were generally nonreceptive after the initial copulation. But if they were inseminated twice, once by each of two virgin males in quick succession, they seldom retained for utilization any sperm from the second mate.

Oösorption in Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Journal of Zoology, 1968
The process of oösorption is described. Leucine amino peptidase and esterase produced by the follicle cells remove the chorion and vitelline membrane. The oölemma grows into the oöcyte and islands of degeneration are formed. The follicle is the entity of oösorption and is isolated from adjoining follicles.Under conditions of host deprivation oösorption

Transfer of Incompatibility Factors between Stocks of Nasonia ( = Mormoneilla) vitripennis

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1993
The stock of Nasonia vitripennis marked by the nuclear eye color mutation "tinged" (ti) shows nonreciprocal cytoplasmic incompatibility with wild-type (+) strains. Homogenates prepared from ti female pupae and injected into + female pupae caused 39% of the recipients to acquire the incompatibility characteristics of the ti donors.

Nasonia vitripennis: An Insect Model for DNA Methylation

2023
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression and chromosomal organisation. Despite being a conserved phenomena across eukaryotes, the role and location of DNA methylation differs greatly across kingdoms. In the last decade, a new field exploring the role of DNA methylation in insect phenotypes has evolved.

A defensin antimicrobial peptide from the venoms of Nasonia vitripennis

Toxicon, 2010
Although many antimicrobial components (i.e. antimicrobial peptides) have been found in many social Hymenoptera venoms, no antimicrobial compound is purified and characterized from parasitic Hymenoptera. From the venoms of the ectoparasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, a defensin-like antimicrobial peptide named defensin-NV was purified and characterized.

Intraspecific variability in associative learning in the parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis

Animal Cognition, 2014
The ability to learn is key to behavioral adaptation to changing environments. Yet, learning rate and memory retention can vary greatly across or even within species. While interspecific differences have been attributed to ecological context or life history constraints, intraspecific variability in learning behavior is rarely studied and more often ...
