My newest #Prelights article highlights a #preprint by B. R. Baisla et al. (2025) and their search for morphological #prezygotic #barriers to reduce #hybridization among the species complex of #Nasonia, #parasitoid wasps. Male genital morphology apparently does not prevent hybridization, pre-mating #barriers are still unknown.

I’m really excited to attend the @Co_Biologists Biologists@100 conference next week. With @preLights, I’m collating a preList of all the preprints at the conference. If you’re coming with a #preprint of your own, make sure I don’t miss it by sending it to me here: https://forms.gle/JYiTFj8iSUcTo5o69
