    J Gadau
    Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA
    Genetics 153:1731-41. 1999
    ..Due to the short generation time, advantages of haplodiploidy, and availability of markers, Nasonia promises to be a productive system for investigating the genetics of hybrid inviability...
  3. ncbi The genetic basis of the interspecific differences in wing size in Nasonia (Hymenoptera; Pteromalidae): major quantitative trait loci and epistasis
    J Gadau
    Institut für Verhaltensphysiologie und Soziobiologie, Universitat Wurzburg, 97074 Wurzburg, Germany
    Genetics 161:673-84. 2002
    ..We propose that the evolution of smaller wings in N. vitripennis males is primarily the result of major mutations at few genomic regions and involves epistatic interactions among some loci...
