This study examines dosage compensation mechanisms on ancestral and neo-Z chromosomes in butterflies, revealing varied gene expression patterns and highlighting the role of evolutionary history and gene function in shaping these mechanisms.

This study examines host plant preference and offspring performance in the butterfly Aricia artaxerxes, finding that females prefer a less optimal host plant due to its abundance and geographic distribution.

The paper evaluates how genome size and retrotransposon abundance correlate with gene family expansion in beetles using unified annotation frameworks.

The paper identifies sequence features associated with chromosomal rearrangements in Leptidea butterflies using genome assemblies and re-sequencing data.

The paper identifies germline-restricted chromosomes (GRCs) in 6,700 passerine species, showing rapid evolution and functional gene retention despite programmed DNA elimination.

The paper identifies a hybrid butterfly lineage in the Baltic Sea, showing it originated from hybridization between two non-sister species and persisted through climate change.

The paper investigates meiotic drive in butterfly hybrids, finding transmission biases that favor or oppose chromosome fusions, suggesting meiotic drive can both promote and hinder karyotypic evolution.
