Parasitoid Wasp Genomes Parasitoid wasps, which prey on and reproduce in host insect species, play important roles in plant herbivore interactions, and may provide valuable tools in the biological… Expand
Insect sex determination: it all evolves around transformer.

- 1 August 2010
Insects exhibit a variety of sex determining mechanisms including male or female heterogamety and haplodiploidy. The primary signal that starts sex determination is processed by a cascade of genes… Expand
Single locus complementary sex determination in Hymenoptera: an "unintelligent" design?
- E. van Wilgenburg, G. Driessen, L. Beukeboom
- Biology, Medicine
- Frontiers in Zoology
- 5 January 2006
The haplodiploid sex determining mechanism in Hymenoptera (males are haploid, females are diploid) has played an important role in the evolution of this insect order. In Hymenoptera sex is usually… Expand
Genetic structure of natural Nasonia vitripennis populations: validating assumptions of sex‐ratio theory
- B. Grillenberger, T. Koevoets, +6 authors L. Beukeboom
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 June 2008
The parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis has been used extensively in sex allocation research. Although laboratory experiments have largely confirmed predictions of local mate competition (LMC) theory,… Expand

Speciation has been a major focus of evolutionary biology research in recent years, with many important advances. However, some of the traditional organising principles of the subject area no longer… Expand
Genome of the house fly, Musca domestica L., a global vector of diseases with adaptations to a septic environment
BackgroundAdult house flies, Musca domestica L., are mechanical vectors of more than 100 devastating diseases that have severe consequences for human and animal health. House fly larvae play a vital… Expand

- Biology
- 1 March 2002
Theory predicts that asexual reproduction has a competitive advantage over sexual reproduction because of the twofold cost of producing males. Few systems are suitable for directly testing this… Expand
