Genomic animal models quantify the heritable components of spatiotemporally structured phenotypic variation in a dispersive cryptobenthic marine fish

This study uses genomic animal models to analyze head shape variation in a marine fish, finding that phenotypic differentiation exceeds genetic differentiation at macrogeographic scales.

A high-quality de novo genome assembly based on nanopore sequencing of a wild-caught coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros)

This paper presents a high-quality de novo genome assembly of the coconut rhinoceros beetle using nanopore sequencing, achieving high contiguity and accuracy.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) based on long-read nanopore sequencing

The paper reports the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oryctes rhinoceros using long-read Nanopore sequencing and validates its annotation and phylogenetic utility.

Genetic structure of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) population and the incidence of its biocontrol agent (Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus) in the South Pacific Islands

The paper analyzes the genetic structure of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle populations and the prevalence of their biocontrol agent across the South Pacific, finding multiple mitochondrial lineages and high viral infection rates.

Migration dynamics of an important rice pest: the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) across Asia - insights from population genomics

This study uses population genomics to identify the Indochinese peninsula as the main source of brown planthopper migration into temperate China, challenging the previous role of the Philippines.
