The evolutionary history of the ancient weevil family Belidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) reveals the marks of Gondwana breakup and major floristic turnovers, including the rise of angiosperms

X. Li, A. E. Marvaldi, R. G. Oberprieler, D. Clarke, B. D. Farrell, A. Sequeira, M. S. Ferrer, C. O'Brien, S. Salzman, S. Shin, W. Tang, D. D. McKenna

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of Belidae weevils to show how their host plant shifts and dispersal were influenced by Gondwana breakup and angiosperm rise.

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.
