Spiroplasma Are Protective Heritable Symbionts With Low Physiological Impact in the Drosophilid Fly Zaprionus kolodkinae

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Zaprionus kolodkinae flies carry a maternally inherited ixodetis clade Spiroplasma that protects its host against wasp attack but has low overall physiological impact. Genome analysis presented a set of known symbiosis‐relevant effectors, and one encoding—a ricin B domain protein—that is novel to this Spiroplasma genome.

Multiparasitism Resolves the Apparent Paradox of High Male Pheromone Investment Despite Frequent Within‐Host Mating in a Parasitoid

open access: yesEntomologia 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.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 558-569, June 2026.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...
