The genomic landscape of metallic color variation in ground beetles

This study identifies candidate genes associated with metallic color variation in ground beetles and links color adaptation to environmental factors.

Evidence for admixture and rapid evolution during glacial climate change in an alpine specialist

This study investigates the evolutionary history of alpine ground beetles, finding evidence of past admixture and rapid physiological evolution during glacial climate change.

Genomic Diversity Illuminates the Environmental Adaptation of Drosophila suzukii

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze genomic diversity and environmental adaptation of Drosophila suzukii across 29 populations, identifying genetic signals linked to environmental factors.

Evidence of hard-selective sweeps suggest independent adaptation to insecticides in Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) populations

The paper identifies independent hard selective sweeps in two Colorado potato beetle populations linked to insecticide resistance, suggesting rapid and repeated adaptation to pesticides.

A complex interplay between balancing selection and introgression maintains a genus-wide alternative life-history strategy.

The paper identifies the genetic basis of an alternative life-history strategy in butterflies and shows it originated once, maintained by balancing selection and introgression across species.

Genome resequencing reveals rapid, repeated evolution in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

This study uses genome resequencing to show that the Colorado potato beetle evolves insecticide resistance repeatedly through standing genetic variation, not novel mutations or regulatory changes.

Experimental warming reduces gut prokaryotic diversity, survival and thermal tolerance of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar)

This study shows that experimental warming reduces gut bacterial diversity and thermal tolerance in eastern subterranean termites.

Elevated rates of positive selection drive the evolution of pestiferousness in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Say)

This study identifies genes under positive selection in the Colorado potato beetle linked to pestiferous traits like detoxification and chemosensation.

Regional differences in gene regulation may underlie patterns of sensitivity to novel insecticides in Colorado potato beetle

The paper examines regional differences in Colorado potato beetle sensitivity to novel insecticides and finds higher baseline sensitivity in Western USA populations compared to Eastern USA populations.

Origin of pest lineages of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

This study investigates the origin of pest lineages of the Colorado potato beetle by analyzing genetic diversity across populations in Mexico and the U.S., finding that pest lineages originated from native U.S. populations rather than Mexican ones.
