The paper examines sex differences in gene expression and alternative splicing in stick insects, finding that splicing variation declines more rapidly than gene expression after the transition to asexuality.

This study investigates tandem repeat (TR) variation in stick insect genomes, finding TR enrichment in high-recombination regions and reduced loads in species with larger population sizes.

The paper traces the evolutionary trajectory from hybridogenesis to parthenogenesis and triploid lineages in stick-insects, showing a stepwise transition driven by genomic changes.

The paper identifies young neo-sex chromosomes in ant crickets and estimates their evolutionary origin and recombination suppression events.

The paper analyzes centromere structure and function in stick insects, revealing a functionally monocentric system with holocentric-like features and chromosome-specific centromeres.

The paper examines how invasive and non-invasive populations of D. suzukii respond to oxidative stress, finding differences in lifespan and gene expression that suggest rapid adaptation.
