Beetles are the largest insect order and one of the most successful animal groups in terms of
number of species. The Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus (Coleoptera …

Abstract The Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus is a giant beetle with
distinctive exaggerated horns present on the head and prothoracic regions of the male. T …

The draft whole-genome sequence of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, Trypoxylus
dichotomus was obtained using long-read PacBio sequence technology. The final …

The world population is predicted to steadily rise to nine billion by 2050 and it requires the
increase of food production by 70%(Godfray et al., 2010). However, improvement in food …

The pygmy mole cricket Xya riparia (Orthoptera: Tridactyloidea) is rarely studied or widely
known. Some species of pygmy mole crickets, however, not only have a potential ecological …

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Taphrorychus bicolor (the beech
bark beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Curculionidae). The genome sequence is …

The flour beetle Tribolium freemani is a sibling species of the model organism and important
pest Tribolium castaneum. The two species are so closely related that they can produce …

Beetles represent the largest insect order and they display extreme morphological,
ecological and behavioral diversity, which makes them ideal models for evolutionary …

Abstract Background Caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) are a highly adapted freshwater
group of insects split from a common ancestor with Lepidoptera. They are the most diverse …

Background An optimal starting point for relating genome function to organismal biology is a
high-quality nuclear genome assembly, and long-read sequencing is revolutionizing the …
