The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.

How the venom from the ectoparasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis exhibits anti-inflammatory properties on mammalian cell lines [PDF]

, 2014
With more than 150,000 species, parasitoids are a large group of hymenopteran insects that inject venom into and then lay their eggs in or on other insects, eventually killing the hosts.

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 ...

DNA methylation changes induced by long and short photoperiods in Nasonia [PDF]

, 2015
Many organisms monitor the annual change in day length and use this information for the timing of their seasonal response. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiodic timing are largely unknown.

Sequence Expression of Supernumerary B Chromosomes: Function or Fluff? [PDF]

, 2019
B chromosomes are enigmatic heritable elements found in the genomes of numerous plant and animal species. Contrary to their broad distribution, most B chromosomes are non-essential. For this reason, they are regarded as genome parasites.

Function and Evolution of DNA Methylation in Nasonia vitripennis

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 developmental stages and to methylation patterns reported in other insects.

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-

Silencing of two insulin receptor genes disrupts nymph-adult transition of alate brown citrus aphid [PDF]

, 2017
Insulin receptors play key roles in growth, development, and polymorphism in insects. Here, we report two insulin receptor genes (AcInR1 and AcInR2) from the brown citrus aphid, Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility and bacterial density in Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]

Genetics, 1993
Abstract Cytoplasmically (maternally) inherited bacteria that cause reproductive incompatibility between strains are widespread among insects. In the parasitoid wasp Nasonia, incompatibility results in improper condensation and fragmentation of the paternal chromosomes in fertilized eggs.
