Mitochondrial genomes of leafhoppers and a parasitoid fly expand genomic resources for the Eastern Canadian Arctic

The paper characterizes mitochondrial genomes from leafhoppers and a parasitoid fly in the Eastern Canadian Arctic, expanding molecular resources for studying insect biodiversity and ecological changes.

Global population genomics and pangenome of the clubroot pathogen link clonal expansion and effector diversification to resistance breakdown in canola

Chromosome-level Genome Assembly of the Potato Leafhopper Empoasca fabae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the potato leafhopper, revealing synteny with related species and providing a resource for genomic studies.

Uncovering diversity and climatic drivers of leafhopper-parasitoid dynamics in Canada

The paper monitors leafhopper-parasitoid dynamics in Canadian strawberry farms, finding climate-driven shifts in leafhopper abundance and parasitism rates, along with genomic insights into parasitoid diversity.

Sex-biased gene expression across tissues reveals unexpected differentiation in the gills of the threespine stickleback

The paper characterizes sex-biased gene expression in liver, gills, and brain of threespine sticklebacks, finding high differentiation in gills and liver but not brain, and links sex bias to dosage compensation and Y chromosome degeneration.

Investigating structural variant, indel and single nucleotide polymorphism differentiation between locally adapted Atlantic salmon populations

The paper identifies structural variants, SNPs, and indels in Atlantic salmon populations to explore their role in local adaptation.
