The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for two hybridogenetic lineages of Cataglyphis hispanica using long-read sequencing and 3C data, enabling studies of thermal adaptation and reproductive systems.

The paper identifies a new clade of Penelope-like retroelements with permuted domains, showing broad distribution across invertebrates and green lineage organisms.

This paper reports the genome and transcriptome of the miniature parasitoid wasp Megaphragma amalphitanum, finding that its genome size and gene content are comparable to other chalcid wasps, despite its extreme miniaturization.
