This study provides a reference genome and transcriptome atlas of the Rocky Mountain wood tick, identifying genes involved in blood feeding and developmental-stage-specific gene expression.

This paper challenges recent claims that mosquito subfamilies are not monophyletic by presenting evidence supporting two monophyletic subfamilies and an ancient divergence.

This paper reviews molecular phylogenies of Aedes mosquitoes and finds two consistent clades, aiding in resolving taxonomic debates.

The paper develops de novo chromosome-scale genomes for two Aedes mosquito species and compares them to a reference genome to reveal chromosomal rearrangements and gene expansion differences.

The paper reports the first detection of Culex pipiens in Alberta, Canada, identifies the dominant ecotype as form pipiens, and notes a trend of increased form pipiens in northern latitudes.
