Population history shapes urban evolutionary dynamics: distinct genetic structure across urban and rural Europe in two lepidopterans

The paper examines genetic differentiation between urban and rural populations of two lepidopterans in Europe, finding distinct genetic structures and suggesting population history influences urban evolution.

One to host them all: genomics of the diverse bacterial endosymbionts of the spider Oedothorax gibbosus

The paper analyzes bacterial endosymbionts in spiders, reconstructing their genomes and showing their evolutionary relationships and interactions with the host.

A novel widespread MITE element in the repeat-rich genome of the Cardinium endosymbiont of the spider Oedothorax gibbosus

The paper presents a manually curated genome annotation of a Cardinium endosymbiont, revealing the spread of insertion sequences and a novel MITE element.

Ecology and evolution of chlamydial symbionts of arthropods

The paper analyzes the ecology, evolution, and genomic diversity of Rhabdochlamydiaceae, a chlamydial family infecting arthropods, revealing genome reduction and transposable element dynamics.
