Impacts of sex ratio meiotic drive on genome structure and defense in a stalk-eyed fly

The paper examines the effects of sex ratio meiotic drive on genome structure and defense in stalk-eyed flies, identifying genomic divergence and TE regulation differences between SR and standard X chromosomes.

Genetic, morphometric, and molecular analyses of interspecies differences in head shape and hybrid developmental defects in the wasp genus Nasonia

The paper investigates gene interactions affecting head shape and developmental defects in Nasonia wasp hybrids, showing codominance of shape alleles and recessive defects, and identifies doublesex as necessary but not sufficient for male head shape differences.

Sex biased expression and co-expression networks in development, using the hymenopteran Nasonia vitripennis

The paper examines sex-biased gene expression and co-expression networks in Nasonia vitripennis across developmental stages, identifying sex determination candidates and network-specific regulatory genes.

Parasitoid wasp venom elevates sorbitol and alters expression of metabolic genes in human kidney cells

This study shows that parasitoid wasp venom increases sorbitol levels and alters metabolic gene expression in human kidney cells, suggesting new insights into sorbitol regulation and potential medical applications.
