Abstract: Abstract Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is now emerging as genetic model organism for development and genetics research. As a parasitic insect, the egg, larval, pupal, and early adult developmental stages of N. vitripennis occur… read more here.

Abstract: In ectotherm species such as insects, thermal fluctuations represent a major environmental factor driving development, survival and reproduction of individuals. Reproductive traits are particularly sensitive to heat stress that can induce a permanent sterility, or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2319
Abstract: Circadian light entrainment in some insects is regulated by blue-light-sensitive cryptochrome (CRY) protein that is expressed in the clock neurons, but this is not the case in hymenopterans. The hymenopteran clock does contain CRY, but… read more here.

Abstract: Summary Maternally heritable symbionts are common in arthropods and represent important partners and antagonists. A major impediment to understanding the mechanistic basis of these symbioses has been lack of genetic manipulation tools, for instance, those… read more here.
