What is Nasonia?• Gregarious puparial parasitoids of
calyptrate flies in bird nests and refuse
• Model system, better known than any other species of Chalcidoidea—genome project ongoing
• Three species, each infected by two unique strains of Wolbachia
![Page 3: Finding the nearest relatives of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56815dc4550346895dcbf012/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The three species of Nasonia• Females almost identical (Darling & Werren 1990)
• Males differ in degree of wing reduction
• Nasonia vitripennis worldwide, synanthropic
• N. giraulti in eastern North America, N. longicornis in western North America– specialized on flies in bird nests

Wolbachia basic background• Bacteria infecting arthropods and filarial nematodes
• Transmitted vertically from mother to offspring (Binnington & Hoffmann 1989)
• Cause crossing incompatibility in Nasonia (Breeuwer & Werren 1990)
• Phylogenetic congruence between bacteria and host usually absent– horizontal transmission?
• May cause rapid speciation in arthropods (Laven 1959, 1967; Breeuwer & Werren
1990)

How Wolbachia affects Nasonia• Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (Breeuwer & Werren 1990)
– Causes death of offspring of mothers that do not have same Wolbachia strains as the father
• Incompatible crosses:– Uninfected female x infected male– Infected female x male infected by at least one different
strain
• Infection rate near 100% in wild Nasonia– “Cured” colonies used to study Wolbachia effects in lab

Why Nasonia’s relationships still need studying• Nasonia is a model system for evolutionary
biology studies, yet…
• Ancestral states cannot be inferred with only three analyzed species!
• No agreement in classification of wasps in its family (Pteromalidae)
• Needed: means to reject some pteromalids as close Nasonia relatives

Pteromalidae is a scary taxon
• 587 genera in 31 subfamilies• Pteromalinae with only 283 genera• Parasitoids of various terrestrial arthropods• No previous phylogenetic analysis using
more than 10 pteromaline genera• Previous analyses with either morphology
only or 28S ribosomal sequences only
![Page 8: Finding the nearest relatives of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56815dc4550346895dcbf012/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pteromalinae molecular vs. morphological rates of evolution• 283 genera of Pteromalinae, but...• 28S D2 sequence divergence equal to that
of the genus Aphelinus (Heraty 2004)
• Rapid morphological evolution or ribosomal constraints?
• Rapid evolution due to Wolbachia?
![Page 9: Finding the nearest relatives of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56815dc4550346895dcbf012/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Tools for the search• Morphology
– 105 morphological characters (work in progress)
• 28S D2-D5 ribosomal DNA, Wingless – Secondary structure alignment for 28S (Gillespie et al. 2005) to be compared with POY results
• Analysis with parsimony (PAUP, TNT, POY), maximum likelihood, Mr. Bayes
• Hypothesis testing with ML using CONSEL

Outgroup selection
• Based on Heraty lab matrix of Chalcidoidea– 28S D2-D5, 18S E17-E35 ribosomal DNA– 471 taxa (including outgroups)– All families, 84 total subfamilies represented
• Subfamilies Diparinae, Ormocerinae are legitimate outgroups for Pteromalinae

Problem: Not enough variation to have statistical power
Solution: Add a more rapidly evolving gene
Candidates: Long-wavelength Rhodopsin—multiple copies?Pten—contains intron, but shortCytochrome Oxidase I & II—AT richness

Perspective• Trichomalopsis sarcophagae 28S sequence
(>1100 base pairs) differs from that of Nasonia vitripennis by only 1 base pair
• Sampling remains incomplete– Nasonia not well-surveyed in Palearctic region– Trichomalopsis with 54 species!
Trichomalopsis microptera male
![Page 17: Finding the nearest relatives of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56815dc4550346895dcbf012/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
They differ by only one base pair in 28S??
Trichomalopsis sarcophagae
Nasonia vitripennis

Further goals• Sequence from more species of Trichomalopsis, other
genera near Nasonia (>120 specimens to be sequenced)
• Finish morphological analysis
• Wolbachia survey across Pteromalinae, comparing bacteria and wasp phylogenies
