Wolbachia as agents of extensive mtDNA lineage sharing between species through multiple infection

V. Noguerales, B. C. Emerson

The paper investigates Wolbachia's role in mtDNA introgression between two beetle species through hybridisation, finding evidence of multiple mtDNA lineage transfers facilitated by shared Wolbachia infections.

Genetic legacies of mega-landslides: cycles of isolation and contact across flank collapses in an oceanic island

V. Noguerales, Y. Arjona, V. Garcia-Olivares, A. Machado, H. Lopez, J. Patino, B. C. Emerson

The paper uses genome-wide data to show that mega-landslides on Tenerife caused cyclical range fragmentation and secondary contact in weevils, mediated by Quaternary climate oscillations.

The limited spatial scale of dispersal in soil arthropods revealed with whole-community haplotype-level metabarcoding

P. Arribas, C. Andujar, A. Salces-Castellano, B. C. Emerson, A. P. Vogler

This study uses whole-community haplotype-level metabarcoding to show dispersal limitation shapes soil arthropod community structure at local scales across three Iberian regions.

Validated removal of nuclear pseudogenes and sequencing artefacts from mitochondrial metabarcode data

C. Andujar, T. J. Creedy, P. Arribas, H. Lopez, A. Salces-Castellano, A. Perez-Delgado, A. P. Vogler, B. C. Emerson

The paper introduces metaMATE, a framework to filter out non-authentic sequences from mitochondrial metabarcoding data by evaluating abundance thresholds and reference data.

A unified model of species abundance, genetic diversity, and functional diversity revealsthe mechanisms structuring ecological communities

I. Overcast, M. Ruffley, J. Rosindell, L. Harmon, P. A. V. Borges, B. C. Emerson, R. Etienne, R. Gillespie, H. Krehenwinkel, D. L. Mahler, F. Massol, C. Parent, J. Patino, B. Peter, B. Week, , A. Rominger

The paper introduces a mechanistic model integrating species abundance, genetic diversity, and functional diversity to infer ecological community assembly processes using tropical tree, arthropod, and gastropod communities.

Genomic signatures accompanying the dietary shift to phytophagy in polyphagan beetles

M. Seppey, P. Ioannidis, B. C. Emerson, C. Pitteloud, M. Robinson-Rechavi, J. Roux, H. E. Escalona, D. D. McKenna, B. Misof, S. Shin, X. Zhou, R. M. Waterhouse, N. Alvarez

This study identifies adaptive gene family expansions in polyphagan beetles associated with their shift to plant-feeding, supporting the role of plant chemical defenses in beetle diversification.
