The suppressive potential of a gene drive in populations of invasive social wasps is currently limited

Adriaan B. Meiborg, Nicky R. Faber, Benjamin Aaron Taylor, Brock A. Harpur, Gregor Gorjanc

This study models the potential of gene drives to suppress invasive social wasp populations and finds that only fertility-targeting drives could be effective under specific conditions.

The molecular basis of socially-mediated phenotypic plasticity in a eusocial paper wasp

Benjamin A. Taylor, Alessandro Cini, Christopher D. R. Wyatt, Max Reuter, Seirian Sumner

The paper analyzes gene expression changes in paper wasps after queen loss, finding transcriptomic shifts without detectable phenotypic changes.
