Host and venom evolution in parasitoid wasps: does independently adapting to the same host shape the evolution of the venom gland transcriptome?
Our study suggests that convergent evolution may not play a predominant force shaping gene expression levels in the venom gland of the Drosophila parasitoid wasps, offering novel insights into the co-evolution between venom and prey/host.
