“…Evolutionary genetic studies of Nasonia have been conducted on sex-ratio (Werren, 1980; Skinner, 1982), interspecific differences in morphology (Weston et al ., 1999; Gadau et al ., 1999; Clark et al, in review), hybrid breakdown (Breeuwer & Werren, 1995; Gadau et al , 1999, 2002; Niehuis et al ., 2008; Clark et al ., in review), host-endosymbiont interactions (Breewuer et al ., 1992; Bordenstein et al ., 2001, 2006), courtship and mating behaviour (Beukeboom & van den Assem, 2002; Velthuis et al ., 2004; Burton-Chellew et al ., 2007) and early development (Lynch et al ., 2006; Rosenberg et al , 2009). Any additional species in the genus would broaden and strengthen this model system, especially for evolutionary genetic studies.…”
