Ecological genomics of a novel host-parasitoid arms-race in nature

The paper studies genomic signatures of coevolution between a parasitoid fly and its cricket host, revealing arms-race dynamics and selective sweeps driven by host adaptations.

Genomic signatures of adaptation across a landscape of crickets exposed to an introduced parasitoid

The paper examines genomic adaptation in Hawaiian crickets following the introduction of a parasitoid fly, finding population size declines and local adaptation through male-silencing alleles.
