The paper assembles the chromosome-scale genome of the Hunt bumble bee, Bombus huntii, using PacBio and HiC sequencing, achieving high continuity and chromosome organization.

This study uses whole genome resequencing to analyze population structure and environmental adaptation in Bombus vosnesenskii, finding weak signatures of population structure and local adaptation.

The paper maps DNA methylation patterns in two bumble bee populations from environmental extremes, finding hypomethylation in a northern population and potential regulatory roles for methylation.
