WaspAtlas: a Nasonia vitripennis gene database and analysis platform [PDF]

Database, 2015
Nasonia vitripennis is a parasitoid wasp which is becoming an important model organism for parasitism, epigenetics, evolutionary and developmental genetics. WaspAtlas is a new gene database in which we have compiled annotation data from all available N.

Genomes of Gut Bacteria from Nasonia Wasps Shed Light on Phylosymbiosis and Microbe-Assisted Hybrid Breakdown

mSystems, 2021
Phylosymbiosis is a cross-system trend whereby microbial community relationships recapitulate the host phylogeny. In Nasonia parasitoid wasps, phylosymbiosis occurs throughout development, is distinguishable between sexes, and benefits host development ...

The quantitative genetic basis of sex ratio variation in Nasonia vitripennis : a QTL study [PDF]

, 2010
Our understanding of how natural selection should shape sex allocation is perhaps more developed than for any other trait. However, this understanding is not matched by our knowledge of the genetic basis of sex allocation.

Oviposition but not sex allocation is associated with transcriptomic changes in females of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

, 2015
This work was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grant (NE/J024481/1). DMS was previously funded by a NERC Advanced Research Fellowship.Linking the evolution of the phenotype to the underlying genotype is a key aim of evolutionary ...

Strain Maintenance of Nasonia vitripennis (Parasitoid Wasp) [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONNasonia is a complex of four closely related species of wasps with several features that make it an excellent system for a variety of genetic studies. These include a short generation time, ease of rearing, interfertile species, visible and molecular markers, and a sequenced genome.

Chromosomal anchoring of linkage groups and identification of wing size QTL using markers and FISH probes derived from microdissected chromosomes in Nasonia(Pteromalidae : Hymenoptera) [PDF]

, 2004
Nasonia vitripennis is a small parasitic hymenopteran with a 50-year history of genetic work including linkage mapping with mutant and molecular markers. For the first time we are now able to anchor linkage groups to specific chromosomes.

A sex allocation cost to polyandry in a parasitoid wasp [PDF]

, 2015
R.A.B. is supported by a NERC DTG studentship.The costs and benefits of polyandry are central to understanding the near-ubiquity of female multiple mating. Here, we present evidence of a novel cost of polyandry: disrupted sex allocation.

Reciprocal inheritance of centrosomes in the parthenogenetic Hymenopteran Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

Current Biology, 2000
In the majority of animals, the centrosome-the microtubule-organizing center of the cell-is assembled from components of both the sperm and the egg. How the males of the insect order Hymenoptera acquire centrosomes is a mystery, as they originate from virgin birth.To address this issue, we observed centrosome, spindle and nuclear behavior in real time ...
