This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the pine processionary moth, improving upon previous assemblies and providing resources for population genomics research.

This study shows that high and recent grazing pressure reduce cork oak seedling survival and resprouting, with legacy effects and climate modulating outcomes.

The paper re-analyzes genome data from sympatric and allopatric populations of pine processionary moths to study allochronic divergence, finding recent population splits, reduced gene flow, and loci linked to circadian genes.

This study reconstructs the worldwide invasions of Hylurgus ligniperda, finding multiple introductions and evidence of bridgehead invasions from non-native populations.
