DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01573-21
Abstract: Bracoviruses are a remarkable example of virus endogenization, because large sets of genes from a nudivirus ancestor continue to produce virions that thousands of wasp species rely upon to parasitize hosts. Understanding how these genes… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v65i2.2670
Abstract: Kale (Brassica oleraceae var. acephala) is of great importance in human nutrition and local agricultural economies, but its growth is impaired by the attack of several insect pests. Social wasps prey on these pests, but… read more here.
