The transcriptomic basis of oviposition behaviour in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Linking behavioural phenotypes to their underlying genotypes is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms that underpin behaviour and for understanding the origins and maintenance of genetic variation in behaviour.

Function and evolution of DNA methylation in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2013
The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis is an emerging genetic model for functional analysis of DNA methylation. Here, we characterize genome-wide methylation at a base-pair resolution, and compare these results to gene expression across five ...

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

OGS2: genome re-annotation of the jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2016
Background: Nasonia vitripennis is an emerging insect model system with haplodiploid genetics. It holds a key position within the insect phylogeny for comparative, evolutionary and behavioral genetic studies. The draft genomes for N.

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.

Latitudinal Variation in Circadian Rhythmicity in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]

Behav Sci (Basel), 2019
ABSTRACT Many 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 ...

Associative learning of Nasonia vitripennis Walker (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) to methyldisulfanylmethane

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2014
peer reviewedTraditional 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.

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
