Olfactory receptor coexpression and co-option in the dengue mosquito

The paper analyzes the transcriptomes of dengue mosquito neurons to show that olfactory receptors are coexpressed within families but not across families, revealing evolutionary patterns in olfactory systems.

Rapid urban evolution of the dengue mosquito in West African cities

The paper documents rapid genomic and behavioral shifts toward human specialization in urban Aedes aegypti populations in West Africa over five years.

Ecological genomics of preference for human hosts in the native range of the dengue mosquito

The paper develops a predictive model for human specialist behavior in Aedes aegypti by integrating population genomics and ecological factors.

Genomic signatures of coral adaptation and recovery following a mass mortality event

This study examines how coral genomes adapt and recover after a mass mortality event, showing host genetics influences survival and that allele frequency shifts are habitat-specific.

Drought tolerance of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs is influenced by adaptation to local climate conditions and associations with humans

This study examines how drought tolerance of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs varies with climate conditions and human association, finding urban mosquitoes have higher survival under arid conditions.

Thermal tolerance of mosquito eggs is associated with urban adaptation and human interactions

This study examines the thermotolerance of mosquito eggs and adults from Aedes species, finding that human-associated lineages have higher egg viability under high-temperature stress.

Discovery and characterization of chromosomal inversions in the arboviral vector mosquito Aedes aegypti

This study identifies chromosomal inversions in Aedes aegypti using Hi-C, revealing geographic distribution patterns and potential roles in host choice and disease transmission.

Intra-species quantification reveals differences in activity and sleep levels in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

This study compares activity and sleep levels across 17 Ae. aegypti lines, finding population differences linked to host preference, ancestry, and human population density.

Sequencing 1206 genomes reveals origin and movement of Aedes aegypti driving increased dengue risk

This study sequenced 1,206 Aedes aegypti genomes to trace the origin and global spread of the species, revealing its evolution from a forest-dwelling to an urban, human-biting form and its impact on dengue risk.

Global genomics of Aedes aegypti unveils widespread and novel persistent infectious viruses capable of triggering a small RNA response

The paper identifies novel persistent viruses in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using small RNA sequencing and confirms their replication and transmissibility in cell lines.

Mechanisms of ecological divergence with gene flow in a reef-building coral on an isolated atoll in Western Australia

The paper investigates mechanisms of ecological divergence with gene flow in corals by combining genomic, transcriptomic, and symbiont analyses to understand adaptation to environmental stress.

Improved Aedes aegypti mosquito reference genome assembly enables biological discovery and vector control

The paper presents an improved Aedes aegypti genome assembly, AaegL5, which enhances biological understanding and vector control efforts by resolving key genomic features and identifying new targets for intervention.
