Genomic data are not yet widely used in insect conservation practice. Here, with a focus on
butterflies, we aim to identify the strengths, limitations and remaining gaps between the …

Coevolutionary interactions are responsible for much of the Earth's biodiversity, with key
innovations driving speciation bursts on both sides of the interaction. One persistent …

Developing genomic insights is challenging in nonmodel species for which resources are
often scarce and prohibitively costly. Here, we explore the potential of a recently established …

Humoral and cellular immune responses provide animals with major defences against
harmful pathogens. While it is often assumed that immune genes undergo rapid diversifying …

Population translocations occur for a variety of reasons, from displacement due to climate
change to human‐induced transfers. Such actions have adverse effects on genetic variation …

Insects rely on their innate immune system to successfully mediate complex interactions with
their internal microbiota, as well as the microbes present in the environment. Given the …

摘要昆虫虽然缺乏适应性免疫系统, 却进化出一套高效复杂的先天免疫系统来保护机体免受多种
病原感染. 昆虫先天免疫系统能够识别入侵病原体并迅速启动以消除潜在的威胁 …

We present genome assemblies from a male and female Pieris napi (the green-veined
white; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pieridae). The genome sequences of the male and …

As evolutionary biologists, we are often curious about the genomic origins of our favorite
adaptations. Although some innovations certainly arose de novo, many more originated …

Immune genes presumably rapidly evolve as pathogens exert strong selection pressures on
host defense, but the evolution of immune genes is also constrained by trade-offs with other …
