The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Sex‐biased gene content is associated with sex chromosome turnover in Danaini butterflies
Abstract Sex chromosomes play an outsized role in adaptation and speciation, and thus deserve particular attention in evolutionary genomics. In particular, fusions between sex chromosomes and autosomes can produce neo‐sex chromosomes, which offer important insights into the evolutionary dynamics of sex chromosomes. Here, we investigate the evolutionary

Different populations of Aedes aegypti, consisting of lab‐established and recently collected African lines display similar diurnal activity patterns. Despite this consistent diurnal activity, variations in activity and sleep levels are observed among the populations, where differences among lines were more pronounced in the lab‐adapted populations ...
