The paper uses ddRAD-seq SNP data to analyze the genetic origin and invasion history of Liriomyza sativae in Australia, finding connections to the Torres Strait, Bali, and Papua New Guinea.

The paper introduces an R package and Shiny app to estimate dispersal parameters using close kin dyads, showing one method produces unbiased estimates while another is biased.

The paper evaluates how sample size, filtering, and population structure affect heterozygosity estimates from genome-wide sequence data and recommends best practices for unbiased calculations.

The paper validates a modified LAMP assay for rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of wAlbB Wolbachia infection in Aedes aegypti under field and lab conditions.
