This study investigates genome architecture evolution in the fungal genus Geosmithia, revealing extensive chromosome restructuring and gene family contractions associated with ecological specialization.

The paper generates chromosome-level assemblies of the mountain pine beetle to study neo-sex chromosome evolution, revealing rapid degeneration and structural divergence in neo-Y chromosomes.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Contortylenchus reversus and analyzes its population structure and host associations using genomic data from host beetles.

This study analyzes beetle genomes to understand chromosome evolution, revealing high diversity and conservation of ancestral linkage groups, and identifying neo-sex chromosomes in 19.5% of species.

The paper identifies a QTL for generation time in mountain pine beetles and characterizes recombination patterns, including sex-biased inheritance of X chromosomes.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and evaluates mtDNA variation in the willow leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis, highlighting structural differences in mitochondrial genomes across a latitudinal gradient.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of D. bifasciata, revealing a metacentric X chromosome and karyotypic transitions involving centromere fusions.
