Evolutionary Dynamics of the Complete Chemosensory Repertoire in Kissing Bugs of the Genus Rhodnius: Divergent Odorant Receptors Contrast with Conserved Gene Families

This study analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of chemosensory genes in Rhodnius species, finding that odorant receptors (ORs) show significant expansion and selection, while other families remain conserved.

Genotype-by-diet interactions determine Black Soldier Fly life-history traits

This study investigates genotype-by-diet interactions in Black Soldier Flies, finding strong strain x diet effects on life-history traits.

Metagenomic Analyses Reveal a Constrained Network of Nutritional Symbionts in Kissing Bugs

The paper generates metagenomic assemblies from Triatominae bugs to identify and characterize four bacterial symbiont genera, revealing their metabolic roles and evolutionary relationships.

The Hidden Sweet Tooth of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens)

This study investigates sugar detection in adult black soldier flies using behavioral, morphological, and molecular approaches, finding they can detect and consume sucrose with female-specific preference.

Emergent patterns of patchiness reflect decoupling between ocean physics and biology

The paper analyzes global ocean data to show that physical and biological patchiness are decoupled, using variance slope to quantify spatial patterns.

A genomic duplication spanning multiple P450s contributes to insecticide resistance in the dengue mosquito Aedes aegypti

This study identifies a genomic duplication of multiple P450 genes in Aedes aegypti that enhances deltamethrin resistance and reveals its evolutionary origin and fitness costs.

Genome evolution and between-host transmission of Spiroplasma endosymbiont in wild communities of Morpho butterflies

This study examines the genome evolution and transmission patterns of Spiroplasma endosymbionts in Morpho butterflies, revealing genome size inflation, horizontal gene transfer, and contrasting transmission dynamics between sympatric species.
