This study traces the invasion history of Aedes albopictus in Panama using mitogenomes and Wolbachia, finding multiple introductions from Asia via the Panama Canal rather than overland routes.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze genomic connectivity and adaptive gene flow of insecticide resistance alleles in Anopheles arabiensis across East Africa, revealing transboundary spread despite geographic barriers.

The paper identifies genomic signatures of selection in Anopheles funestus across African populations, revealing shared and population-specific adaptive variation linked to insecticide resistance and neuromodulatory pathways.
