Asymmetric migration shapes genetic structure of the invasive avian vampire fly (Philornis downsi) across the Galapagos Islands.

Abbie C. Hay, Sonia Kleindorfer, Lauren K. Common…·Rachael Y. Dudaniec

This study investigates the genetic structure and dispersal patterns of Philornis downsi across Galapagos Islands using whole genome sequencing, finding asymmetric gene flow and genetic divergence linked to trade winds and shipping routes.

Wolbachia-mediated parthenogenesis induction in the aphid hyperparasitoid Alloxysta brevis (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Charipinae)

Jonathan Dregni, Amelia R. I. Lindsey, Mar Ferrer‐Suay…·George E. Heimpel

This paper demonstrates Wolbachia-mediated thelytokous parthenogenesis in Alloxysta brevis, showing antibiotic treatment reduces female offspring production, implicating bacterial symbiosis in reproductive mode.
