HighlightsNasonia strains differ in how well stimuli are learned and memorized.Despite significant intraspecific variation, there is no difference between species.Memory retention pattern is strain specific and similar across stimulus modalities.Individual strains are not representative of species level cognitive abilities.Insect species display a large range of inter-and intraspecific variation in learning and memory retention. Variation in associative learning ability has also been reported for three species in the parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia, most notably between Nasonia vitripennis and Nasonia giraulti, for which inbred isogenic strains have been established and studied intensively. We addressed the question how learning and memory of such isogenic strains compare to the phenotypes found in genetically diverse strains of these species. We recorded memory retention of both isogenic and genetically diverse strains of two species at 4–120 h after either olfactory or visual conditioning. Memory retention typically declined over time, but the pattern of decline differed consistently between strains. The isogenic N. vitripennis strain formed long-lasting (> 5 days) memory, whereas the isogenic N. giraulti strain lost its memory after 48 h. Yet, genetically diverse strains of both species formed long-lasting memory. Memory retention patterns of strains were independent of sensory modality of the conditioned stimulus for all strains. These results show that there is variation for associative learning and memory within the two species, but not clear interspecies differences in memory retention. Without a better overview of the natural variation in learning abilities within a species, individual strains, especially isogenic strains with low genetic variability, are not necessarily representative of the species in general.
