Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Species Delimitation of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Greenhouse whitefly)

This study analyzes genetic diversity and population structure of Trialeurodes vaporariorum in Kenya and globally, identifying two distinct clades and low genetic diversity suggesting recent expansion.

An Invariants-based Method for Efficient Identification of Hybrid Species From Large-scale Genomic Data

The paper introduces a method to detect hybrid species using phylogenetic invariants, showing it can identify both recent and ancient hybrids efficiently in large genomic datasets.

A codon model of nucleotide substitution with selection on synonymous codon usage

The paper introduces a new codon substitution model that incorporates selection on synonymous codon usage and tests its performance on yeast genes, finding it provides better fit in most cases.
