The Lester lab is on fire 🔥 with #wasplove!

We’ve been searching for next-generation pest control methods. The Trojan female technique uses mtDNA mutations that lower fitness. Some wasp colonies had mtDNA mutations, and low fitness, but not impaired mitochondrial function @ProfGemmell @BioHeritageN…
