The paper expands an RNAi screen in Tribolium castaneum to assess gene function diversity between beetles and flies, finding that 50% of functions are shared while others are specific to one species.

This study shows that Fog signaling has multiple roles in epithelial morphogenesis across insects, including mesoderm internalization and gut development in Tribolium.

The paper presents the milkweed bug genome and comparative analyses to study molecular evolution and feeding ecology in Hemiptera.

The paper identifies Pt-Ets4 as a key transcription factor required for cumulus function, dorsoventral axis patterning, and mesoderm-like cell fate induction in spider embryos.

The paper presents high-quality transcriptomic resources for two coleopteran species, providing detailed developmental gene expression data and assemblies.
