The biological significance of lipogenesis in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2022 Parasitic wasps have long been thought to be unable to synthesize fatty acids de novo, but recent 13 C-labelling studies have challenged this view. It remained unclear, however, whether the reported biosynthesis rates are of biological relevance.

SYNCAS-mediated CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolMaternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Latitudinal Variation in Circadian Rhythmicity in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
Behav Sci (Basel), 2019 ABSTRACTMany physiological processes of living organisms show circadian rhythms, governed by an endogenous clock. This clock has a genetic basis and is entrained by external cues such as light and temperature. Other physiological processes exhibit seasonal rhythms, that are also responsive to light and temperature.

A case of polyploid utility in biocontrol: reproductively-impaired triploid Nasonia vitripennis have high host-killing ability. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciParasitization ability on blowfly pupae of polyploid (triploid) females of the model parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis was compared against diploid controls. Despite highly impaired reproduction, the infertile polyploids had parasitization ability equal to control diploids, demonstrating high utility of polyploid parasitoids for biocontrol, with less ...

Exploring the ageing methylome in the model insect,Nasonia vitripennis
BMC Genomics, 2023 AbstractBackgroundThe ageing process is a multifaceted phenomenon marked by the gradual deterioration of cellular and organismal functions, accompanied by an elevated susceptibility to diseases. The intricate interplay between genetic and environmental factors complicates research, particularly in complex mammalian models.

Bacterial supergroup-specific "cost" of Wolbachia infections in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 The maternally-inherited endosymbiont, Wolbachia, is known to alter the reproductive biology of its arthropod hosts for its benefit and can induce both positive and negative fitness effects in many hosts. Here we describe the effects of the maintenance of two distinct Wolbachia infections, one each from supergroups A and B, on the parasitoid host ...

Pheromone diversification and age-dependent behavioural plasticity decrease interspecific mating costs in Nasonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Interspecific mating can cause severe fitness costs due to the fact that hybrids are often non-viable or less fit. Thus, theory predicts the selection of traits that lessen reproductive interactions between closely related sympatric species. Males of the

Allele-Specific Transcriptome and Methylome Analysis Reveals Stable Inheritance and Cis-Regulation of DNA Methylation in Nasonia. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 Gene expression divergence between closely related species could be attributed to both cis- and trans- DNA sequence changes during evolution, but it is unclear how the evolutionary dynamics of epigenetic marks are regulated.
