From 338 beetle genomes, eight ancestral linkage groups were inferred; rearrangement rates vary widely, peaking in major radiations, and the X chromosome dates to Holometabola's ancestor.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of Black Soldier Fly populations to reveal cryptic genetic diversity and the impacts of domestication on genetic variation.

This study examines two Neotropical butterfly radiations, revealing high rates of hybridization and chromosomal rearrangements as drivers of diversification.

The paper shows that light microhabitats in forests drive sensory convergence and divergence in mimetic butterflies' visual systems through mutualistic interactions.

The paper investigates how hybridization contributes to adaptive radiation in Lake Victoria cichlids by analyzing genotype-phenotype associations across multiple traits.

This study identifies shared genetic mechanisms underlying convergent mimicry coloration in Lepidoptera, showing that non-coding regions near ivory and optix genes are consistently associated with color pattern switches across distantly related species.

The paper uses whole genomes to show that cichlid fish species in Lake Victoria and nearby lakes diversified extremely rapidly, with speciation rates much higher than previously estimated.

The paper presents a haplotype-resolved genome assembly for the wood tiger moth using trio binning, revealing population structure insights.
