This paper shows that the parasitoid wasp Ephedrus lacertosus uses venom proteins to suppress aphid alarm pheromone release, disrupting collective defense.

The paper identifies a homeobox gene co-opted for venom regulation in parasitoid wasps, revealing a nested model of regulatory evolution.

This study uses large-scale comparative genomics to analyze 131 Hymenoptera species, revealing genomic patterns and innovations linked to key evolutionary traits.

The paper presents the first genome assembly of Strepsiptera using PacBio HiFi reads, revealing a miniature genome and insights into its evolutionary biology.

This study presents a high-quality genome assembly of a single parasitoid wasp using ultra-low input DNA, demonstrating the feasibility of de novo assembly with minimal DNA.
