The paper examines genome size and transposable element abundance in invasive common ragweed across native and invasive ranges, finding range-specific selection and environmental correlations.

This study uses historical and contemporary genomes of Ambrosia artemisiifolia to show that adaptive evolution is partly predictable at the level of polygenic traits and large structural variants, despite flexible genomic trajectories.

This study identifies large structural variants as drivers of parallel adaptation in Trifolium repens during global invasion.

This study identifies copy number variations contributing to parallel local adaptation in Ambrosia artemisiifolia across its native and invasive ranges.

The paper identifies large-effect structural variants driving parallel adaptation in multiple invasions of Ambrosia artemisiifolia across different continents.

This study uses simulations to show that migration increases repeated genetic adaptation despite pleiotropy, suggesting repeatability is more common in local adaptation than global adaptation.

The paper presents two high-quality genome assemblies for white clover, improving contiguity and accuracy for genetic and agricultural studies.

The paper investigates the genomic basis of invasiveness in Ambrosia artemisiifolia, finding selection signatures in defense genes and reduced pathogen prevalence in invasive populations.

This study identifies EcKL genes in Drosophila melanogaster as detoxification enzymes involved in caffeine and kojic acid tolerance through functional validation and genetic analysis.

The paper identifies candidate detoxification genes in Drosophila by integrating evolutionary and transcriptomic data, finding that EcKLs may function in detoxification and that many P450s are potential detoxification candidates.

The paper identifies cis and trans-acting genetic variants affecting survivorship in Drosophila melanogaster exposed to ryanoid insecticides.

The paper links insecticide resistance in Drosophila melanogaster to structural variants and selective sweep loci using genome-wide association studies.

The paper investigates genetic factors underlying imidacloprid resistance in Drosophila melanogaster using genomic and transcriptomic data, identifying Cyp6g1 and Cyp6g2 as key contributors.
