The paper investigates the mechanism of Wolbachia-induced thelytoky in M. uniraptor, finding that diploidization alone is sufficient for feminization, and Wolbachia does not affect Mutra/Mutra2 expression or splicing.

This study shows that silencing Dsx in Nasonia males causes pheromonal feminization, affecting attraction, courtship, and mating success.

This study shows that Doublesex (Dsx) regulates male-specific traits and genitalia morphology in Nasonia vitripennis during specific developmental stages, highlighting its role in suppressing female traits and promoting male-specific development.
