This study investigates genetic divergence in leaf-cutting ants across the Andes Mountains, finding that environmental factors and physical barriers interact to shape genetic patterns.

The paper assembles and annotates chromosome-length genomes for three cactophilic Drosophila species to study structural and sequence evolution and their links to adaptation and speciation.

The paper examines the genetic structure of Atta cephalotes across the Andes, finding that the mountain ranges act as a barrier to gene flow, isolating populations and suggesting a complex biogeographical history.

The paper introduces an R package for simulating genome evolution with ancestry, focusing on admixture scenarios and their evolutionary implications.
