The strepsipteran endoparasite Xenos vesparum alters the immunocompetence of its host, the paper wasp Polistes dominulus [PDF]
, 2010 It is unexplained how strepsipteran insects manipulate the physiology of their hosts in order to undergo endoparasitic development without being entrapped by the innate immune defences of the host.

Bee‐Mediated Pollen Transport Across Five Urban Landscape Features: Buildings Are Important Barriers
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Urban landscape features may disrupt or facilitate the foraging movements of insect pollinators; for example, bees are more likely to move along roads than across them. Here, we investigated not only roads but also lawns, gardens, forests, and buildings by measuring the transfer of fluorescent dye between flowering plants separated by each feature ...

Genetic characterization of the peptidases of Polistes versicolor (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2003 Starch gel electrophoresis with L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamide as substrate revealed five aminopeptidases in extracts of Polistes versicolor. These enzymes are presumably products of five structural gene loci.

Parasitic castration by Xenos vesparum depends on host gender [PDF]
, 2014 Host castration represents a mechanism used by parasites to exploit energy resources from their hosts by interfering with their reproductive development or to extend host lifespan by removing risks associated with reproductive activity.
