Abstract Background PacBio high fidelity (HiFi) sequencing reads are both long (15–20 kb)
and highly accurate (> Q20). Because of these properties, they have revolutionised genome …

The past decade has seen the availability of insect genomic data explode, with
mitochondrial (mt) genome data seeing the greatest growth. The widespread adoption of …

Weevils are an unusually species-rich group of phytophagous insects for which there is
increasing evidence of frequent involvement in brood-site pollination. This study examines …

Comprising approximately 7500 living species of various corals and sea anemones,
Anthozoa ranks among the most ecologically and economically valuable marine taxa …

Due to their limited ranges and inherent isolation, island species have long been recognized
as crucial systems for tackling a range of evolutionary questions, including in the early study …

Whole mitochondrial genomes are often used in phylogenetic reconstruction. However,
discordant patterns in species relationships between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies …

The root systems of most plant species are aided by the soil-foraging capacities of symbiotic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of the Glomeromycotina subphylum. Despite recent …

Transmissible cancers are parasitic malignant cell lineages that have acquired the ability to
infect new hosts from the same species, or sometimes related species. First described in …

In endangered species, low-genetic variation and inbreeding result from recent population
declines. Genetic screenings in endangered populations help to assess their vulnerability to …

Understanding the drivers of speciation is fundamental in evolutionary biology, and recent
studies highlight hybridization as an important evolutionary force. Using whole-genome …
