Genomes of the Hymenoptera Abstract Hymenoptera is the second-most sequenced arthropod order, with 52 publically archived genomes (71 with ants, reviewed elsewhere), however these genomes do not capture the breadth of this very diverse order (Figure 1, Table 1). These sequenced genomes represent only 15 of the 97 extant families. Although at least 55 other genomes are in progress in an additional 11 families (see Table 2), stinging wasps represent 35 (67%) of the available and 42 (76%) of the in progress genomes.

L. Stibick Introduction Introduction Fruit flies in the family Tephritidae are high profile insects among commercial fruit and vegetable growers, marketing exporters, government regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Locally, producers face huge losses without some management scheme to control fruit fly populations. At the national and international level, plant protection agencies strictly regulate the movement of potentially infested products. Consumers throughout the world demand high quality, blemish-free produce. Partly to satisfy these demands, the costs to local, state and national governments are quite high and increasing as world trade, and thus risk, increases. Thus, fruit flies impose a considerable resource tax on participants at every level, from producer to shipper to the importing state and, ultimately, to the consumer. (McPheron & Steck, 1996) Indeed, in the United States alone, the running costs per year to APHIS, Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), (the federal Agency responsible) for maintenance of trapping systems, laboratories, and identification are in excess of US$27 million per year and increasing. This figure only accounts for a fraction of total costs throughout the country, as State, County and local governments put in their share as well as the local industry affected.

  • The Role of Mating Systems in Sexual Selection in Parasitoid Wasps
    Biol. Rev. (2014), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12126 Beyond sex allocation: the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps Rebecca A. Boulton∗, Laura A. Collins and David M. Shuker Centre for Biological Diversity, School of Biology, University of St Andrews, Dyers Brae, Greenside place, Fife KY16 9TH, U.K. ABSTRACT Despite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked. For instance, parasitoid mating systems have typically been studied in terms of how mating structure affects sex allocation. In the past decade, however, some studies have sought to address sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps more explicitly and found that, despite the lack of obvious secondary sexual traits, sexual selection has the potential to shape a range of aspects of parasitoid reproductive behaviour and ecology. Moreover, various characteristics fundamental to the parasitoid way of life may provide innovative new ways to investigate different processes of sexual selection. The overall aim of this review therefore is to re-examine parasitoid biology with sexual selection in mind, for both parasitoid biologists and also researchers interested in sexual selection and the evolution of mating systems more generally. We will consider aspects of particular relevance that have already been well studied including local mating structure, sex allocation and sperm depletion. We go on to review what we already know about sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps and highlight areas which may prove fruitful for further investigation. In particular, sperm depletion and the costs of inbreeding under chromosomal sex determination provide novel opportunities for testing the role of direct and indirect benefits for the evolution of mate choice.

  • Evolution of Gene Regulation Among Drosophila Species
    8th Annual ARTHROPOD GENOMICS SYMPOSIUM (AGS) ABSTRACTS | INVITED SPEAKERS EVOLUTION OF GENE REGULATION AMONG DROSOPHILA SPECIES Patricia Wittkopp, University of Michigan Genetic dissection of phenotypic differences within and between species has shown that genetic changes affecting the regulation of gene expression are an important source of phenotypic diversity. We have seen this in our own work investigating the genetic basis of pigmentation differences between closely related Drosophila species. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for the evolution of gene expression, we have been investigating the evolution of a specific gene yellow( ) as well as the evolution of gene expression on a genomic scale. Work on both of these topics, with an emphasis on methods adaptable to non-model systems, will be presented. METAMORPHOSIS AND EVOLUTION OF ARTHROPOD GENOMICS Judith H. Willis, University of Georgia I began work on arthropod genomics 50 years ago. At first, I was only interested in the genetic underpinnings of metamorphic transitions, but I have ended up with an increasing orientation toward arthropod evolution. During those 50 years the field itself has evolved (gaining a name in the process) and metamorphosed (witness this meeting). My talk will address both the biology and the history. I began by testing whether each metamorphic stage was underwritten by a unique set of genes by using cuticular proteins (CPs) as molecular markers. Results, starting with tube gels and progressing to the isolation and characterization of two CP genes and their promoters, demolished that hypothesis. A shift from a giant silkworm to Anopheles gambiae that devotes ~2% of its protein coding genes to structural CPs was accompanied by a larger scale analysis of their activity, including mRNA expression and recovery of authentic CPs from cuticle determined by LC-MS/MS analyses.

The wasp inserts her ovipositor into solid substrates and bends, possibly beyond its breaking point. As buckling occurs to deposit eggs in hosts, and even seems capable of steering more easily in slender beams, this is a real danger for parasitic the ovipositor while drilling. The ovipositor generally consists of wasps. Buckling depends on four parameters: (i) the axial load three longitudinally connected valves that can slide along each applied on the beam, (ii) the second moment of area of the beam, other. Alternative valve movements have been hypothesized to (iii) how well is the beam fixed on both ends (i.e., “free to slide be involved in ovipositor damage avoidance and steering during sideways,” “hinged,” or “fixed”), and (iv) the length of the beam. drilling. However, none of the hypotheses have been tested in During puncturing, axial loading of the ovipositor cannot be vivo. We used 3D and 2D motion analysis to quantify the probing avoided, so only the other factors can be adjusted.

To expand the number of Wolbachia genomes, we screen over 30,000 publicly available shotgun DNA sequencing samples from 500 hosts. By assembling over 1000 Wolbachia genomes, we provide a substantial increase in host representation. Our phylogenies based on both core-genome and gene content provide a robust reference for future studies, support new strains in model organisms, and reveal recent horizontal transfers amongst distantly related hosts. We find various instances of gene function gains and losses in different super-groups and in cytoplasmic incompatibility inducing strains. Our Wolbachia- host co-phylogenies indicate that horizontal transmission is widespread at the host intras- pecific level and that there is no support for a general Wolbachia-mitochondrial synchronous divergence. 1 Research and Innovation Centre, Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM), San Michele all’Adige, Italy. 2 Department CIBIO, University of Trento, Trento, Italy. ✉ 3Present address: Centre Agriculture Food Environment (C3A), University of Trento, Trento, Italy. email: [email protected]; [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:5235 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19016-0 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19016-0 ature is filled with exemplar cases of symbiotic interaction based on genomic data have found no clear evidence of intras- between bacteria and multicellular eukaryotes.
