Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 579-588, June 2026.It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010 To test the assumption that exposure of the host to parasitoid for long periods could provoke superparasitism, the aim of this work was to test the consequences on the immature development time, productivity of parasitoids per pupa, sex ratio and rate of

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception

Ancient and diverged TGF-β signaling components in Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
Development Genes and Evolution, 2014 The transforming growth factor beta (TGF)-β signaling pathway and its modulators are involved in many aspects of cellular growth and differentiation in all metazoa. Although most of the core components of the pathway are highly conserved, many lineage-specific adaptations have been observed including changes regarding paralog number, presence and ...

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Metabolic enzymes associated with xenobiotic and chemosensory responses in Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]
Insect Molecular Biology, 2010 Abstract The numbers of glutathione S‐transferase, cytochrome P450 and esterase genes in the genome of the hymenopteran parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis are about twice those found in the genome of another hymenopteran, the honeybee Apis mellifera
