Multiple roads to swarming: divergent molecular machineries drive the repeated evolution of locusts

Locust swarming, one of nature’s most spectacular examples of a repeated emergent polyphenism, has long been suspected to rely on conserved “swarming genes” or shared genomic features. By applying a model-clade approach comparing six species that vary in their degrees of plasticity and collective behavior, we show that...

The chromosome level genome of the Blueberry Stem Gall Wasp, Hemadas nubilipennis (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae) on lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) reveals repeat-driven expansion

Gall-inducing insects are important models for studying plant-feeding lifestyle evolution, but genomic resources remain scarce. We present the first chromosome-level genome for the blueberry stem gall wasp (Hemadas nubilipennis), a native North American species now reaching outbreak densities on cultivated highbush blu...

A chromosome-scale assembly for the genome of southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata.

The chromosome-level haploid genome assembly, icDiaUnde3, constructed using HiFi and Hi-C read data from a single male D. undecimpunctata collected and identified as subspecies howardi based on geographic location and morphology is reported.
