Additive effects of environmental and demographic variation shape the repeatability of evolution across replicated experiments

This study shows that environmental and demographic variation additively reduce the repeatability of evolution in replicated experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans.

On distinguishing between canonical tRNA genes and tRNA gene fragments in prokaryotes

The paper identifies mis-categorization of non-canonical tRNA genes as canonical in GtRNAdb and proposes methods to improve tRNA gene annotation in prokaryotes.

Genomic resources for Goniozus legneri, Aleochara bilineata and Paykullia maculata, representing three independent origins of the parasitoid lifestyle in insects

The paper presents draft genome assemblies for three parasitoid insects from non-parasitica lineages, providing genomic resources for comparative studies.

Gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the evolutionary loss of a polygenic trait

The paper investigates the molecular mechanisms behind the evolutionary loss of lipogenesis in parasitoid insects by comparing transcriptomic responses between Nasonia vitripennis and Drosophila melanogaster.
