Behavioral Interactions in Two Ant Species in The Southeast United States and Evidence for a Native Supercolony

The paper studies behavioral interactions between two ant species in the southeastern US, finding that D. smithi shows low aggression across sites, suggesting supercolony behavior, while D. bureni exhibits high aggression, and the species interact aggressively in pure nests.

Lack of parent-of-origin effects in Nasonia jewel wasp: a replication and extension study

The paper replicates and extends previous findings showing no parent-of-origin effects in Nasonia jewel wasps, instead finding species-of-origin effects using new data and analysis methods.

Functional insights from the GC-poor genomes of two aphid parasitoids, Aphidius ervi and Lysiphlebus fabarum

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.
