Trehalose mediates salinity-stress tolerance in a crustacean

This study shows that trehalose production, mediated by the TPS gene, enables Daphnia magna to tolerate salinity stress, with tolerance linked to native habitat salinity and local adaptation.

A chromosome scale genome assembly and evaluation of mtDNA variation in the willow leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and evaluates mtDNA variation in the willow leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis, highlighting structural differences in mitochondrial genomes across a latitudinal gradient.

The genome and mRNA transcriptome of the cosmopolitan calanoid copepod Acartia tonsa Dana improve the understanding of copepod genome size evolution

The paper reports the first genome and transcriptome of Acartia tonsa, revealing a 14-fold genome size difference among copepods and expanding genetic resources for evolutionary studies.
