This project investigates how ecological conditions influence the absence of lipid synthesis in parasitic wasps. By examining gene transcription and nutrient dynamics, it aims to understand the costs and benefits of this metabolic strategy, linking molecular mechanisms to ecological contexts.
All organisms invest in nutrient storage to fuel energetic requirements needed for survival and reproduction.
The consistency with which organisms invest in nutrient storage, in particular lipids, makes it remarkable that numerous parasitic insects lack lipid synthesis.
The parasitic larval lifestyle adopted by these parasitoids has facilitated a means to carry over valuable resources from their host and allows them to refrain from costly investment in storage reserves.
The lack of lipogenesis h…
