The paper uses population genomic analyses to study the social parasite Acromyrmex insinuator and its hosts, finding reduced genetic diversity, eroded adaptive potential, and cryptic population structure in the parasite.

This study shows that cavalcade extract enhances tomato resistance to root-knot nematodes by activating defense pathways and limiting nematode infection.

This study compares the genomes of ancient asexual and sexual oribatid mites, finding that asexual species have streamlined genomes with fewer novel genes compared to their sexual relatives.

This study shows that DNA demethylation with 5-aza-dC reduces aggression in founding queens of P. californicus, suggesting an epigenetic role in social behavior.

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

This study examines DNA methylation patterns in different castes and developmental stages of the harvester ant P. californicus, finding significant variation and correlations with gene expression and metabolic activity.

The paper identifies haplotypic independence as a mechanism enabling long-term survival of an asexual mite species without sex.

The paper identifies three phenotypic entities in ant embryos, including 'neuters', and proposes that haplodiploidy enables a third dimension on the sex continuum in Cardiocondyla obscurior.

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.
