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 ...

The costs and benefits of multiple mating in a mostly monandrous wasp [PDF]
, 2015 Funding: NERC DTGThe taxonomically widespread nature of polyandry remains a puzzle. Much of the empirical work regarding the costs and benefits of multiple mating to females has, for obvious reasons, relied on species that are already highly polyandrous.

GENETIC VARIATION FOR THE SEX RATIO IN NASONIA VITRIPENNIS [PDF]
Genetics, 1985 ABSTRACT We detected genetic variation for the sex ratio in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis by analysis of inbred lines and with an artificial selection experiment. Sex ratios differed significantly among five independently isolated lines. Furthermore, sex ratio in broods produced by single females in single hosts shifted from 80-

Female dispersal and isolation-by-distance of Nasonia vitripennis populations in a local mate competition context [PDF]
, 2009 Dispersal behavior directly influences the level of inbreeding, but the effect of inbreeding avoidance on dispersal is less well studied. The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) is known to mate ...

Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton [PDF]
, 2014 Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying the gluten.
