This study identifies three methyl-branched alkanes as key pheromonal compounds linked to mate choice in two parasitoid wasp species and links their variation to genomic regions enriched for cuticular hydrocarbon biosynthesis genes.

This study investigates the role of the fas3 gene in regulating cuticular hydrocarbons in Nasonia vitripennis, showing its impact on survival and sexual communication.

The paper identifies a gene in parasitic wasps that affects both sexual attractiveness and surface pheromone composition by altering methyl-branching patterns.

This study identifies genetic loci and candidate genes associated with cuticular hydrocarbon variation in parasitoid wasps, revealing genomic regions linked to methyl-branched alkane biosynthesis.

The paper presents genome assemblies and analysis of two aphid parasitoid wasps, identifying AT-richness and gene family expansions linked to host interactions and symbiosis.
