This article describes QTL analyses for solitary (Nasonia, a parasitoid wasp) and social hymenopteran species (honeybee and bumblebee).

Mapping populations were derived either from lab crosses between highly inbred strains (Nasonia spp.), lab crosses of individuals caught in the field (bumblebees), or...
