Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality. [PDF]

, 2015
Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...

Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis NVIT04, Isolated from Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc, 2019
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive, lactic acid-producing coccus which can be found as a member of the gut microbiome in many animal species and is a potential pathogen in humans. Here, we describe the genome sequence of an E.

Transcriptome Profiling of Nasonia vitripennis Testis Reveals Novel Transcripts Expressed from the Selfish B Chromosome, Paternal Sex Ratio [PDF]

, 2013
A widespread phenomenon in nature is sex ratio distortion of arthropod populations caused by microbial and genetic parasites. Currently little is known about how these agents alter host developmental processes to favor one sex or the other.

Genome Sequence of Providencia rettgeri NVIT03, Isolated from Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc, 2019
Providencia rettgeri is a common insect-associated Gram-negative bacterium. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of P. rettgeri NVIT03, the most common bacterial symbiont of the insect hymenopteran model Nasonia vitripennis .

Insect Innate Immunity Database (IIID): an annotation tool for identifying immune genes in insect genomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The innate immune system is an ancient component of host defense. Since innate immunity pathways are well conserved throughout many eukaryotes, immune genes in model animals can be used to putatively identify homologous genes in newly sequenced genomes ...

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Target enrichment of ultraconserved elements from arthropods provides a genomic perspective on relationships among Hymenoptera

, 2014
Gaining a genomic perspective on phylogeny requires the collection of data from many putatively independent loci collected across the genome. Among insects, an increasingly common approach to collecting this class of data involves transcriptome ...

Superparasitism Drives Heritable Symbiont Epidemiology and Host Sex Ratio in a Wasp [PDF]

, 2016
Heritable microbial symbionts have profound impacts upon the biology of their arthropod hosts. Whilst our current understanding of the dynamics of these symbionts is typically cast within a framework of vertical transmission only, horizontal transmission

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

BMC Genomics, 2016
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. vitripennis and two sibling species were published in 2010, yet a considerable amount of transcriptiome data have since been ...
