The paper describes homoploid hybrid speciation in a beetle species complex with no obvious phenotypic or ecological differences, showing hybrid lineage origins from historical admixture and supporting an ancient origin.

The paper investigates microbial communities in three wild tick species to understand how ecological and evolutionary factors shape their microbiota.

The paper investigates Wolbachia's role in mtDNA introgression between two beetle species through hybridisation, finding evidence of multiple mtDNA lineage transfers facilitated by shared Wolbachia infections.

The paper uses genome-wide data to show that mega-landslides on Tenerife caused cyclical range fragmentation and secondary contact in weevils, mediated by Quaternary climate oscillations.

The paper uses genomic and phenotypic data to show that a grasshopper species originated from hybridization between two sister species, leading to a broader trophic niche.
