This study examines how parental inheritance affects gene expression and metabolism in Spodoptera frugiperda strains and their hybrids, revealing parent-of-origin effects on immune response and metabolic pathways.

This study identifies a viral gene, U16, essential for genome replication of an ichnovirus in ichneumonid wasps, showing its role in DNA amplification and virion production.

The paper sequenced and analyzed the S. littoralis genome to investigate the expansion mechanisms of gustatory receptors in polyphagous noctuidae, identifying transposable elements and positive selection as potential drivers.

The paper presents genome assemblies and analysis of two aphid parasitoid wasps, identifying AT-richness and gene family expansions linked to host interactions and symbiosis.

The paper investigates the role of recent gene duplications in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, finding that most duplicates show asymmetric evolution with positive selection and gene expression divergence.

The paper sequenced two ichneumonid wasp genomes to reveal distinct genomic architectures of endogenous ichnoviruses compared to bracoviruses.

This study identifies divergent selection as a sufficient cause for whole genome differentiation in Spodoptera frugiperda without requiring physical linkage among differentiating loci.
