Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease
Ticks transmit more pathogens to humans and animals than any other arthropod. We
describe the 2.1 Gbp nuclear genome of the tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), which vectors …

A model species for agricultural pest genomics: the genome of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
The Colorado potato beetle is one of the most challenging agricultural pests to manage. It
has shown a spectacular ability to adapt to a variety of solanaceaeous plants and variable …

Functional and Evolutionary Insights from the Genomes of Three Parasitoid Nasonia Species
We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related
parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are …

Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living
The evolution of eusociality is one of the major transitions in evolution, but the underlying
genomic changes are unknown. We compared the genomes of 10 bee species that vary in …

Molecular evolution of peptidergic signaling systems in bilaterians
O Mirabeau, JS Joly - … of the national academy of sciences, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Peptide hormones and their receptors are widespread in metazoans, but the knowledge we
have of their evolutionary relationships remains unclear. Recently, accumulating genome …

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization
Background The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary
transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution …

The First Myriapod Genome Sequence Reveals Conservative Arthropod Gene Content and Genome Organisation in the Centipede Strigamia maritima
Myriapods (eg, centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative
to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality …

From molecules to management: mechanisms and consequences of locust phase polyphenism
Abstract Locusts are grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) that are characterised by their
capacity for extreme population density-dependent polyphenism, transforming between a …
