This study shows that long-distance dispersal of pigeons and doves created new ecological opportunities for their parasites to speciate through host-switching, but this opportunity decreased over time as cospeciation became more common.

The paper uses comparative genomics to analyze immune gene evolution in insects, identifying three axes of evolutionary trajectories linked to functional roles.

This study identifies sialokinin in Aedes mosquito saliva as a factor that enhances arbovirus infection by reducing endothelial barrier integrity, suggesting it as a therapeutic target.

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.
