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 …

The recent advances in sequencing technologies, phylogenomics and divergence dating
methods call for an integrative review of the current state of Hymenoptera systematics. We …

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

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 …

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 …

Nereidid polychaetes are well known from shallow marine habitats, but their diversity in the
deep sea is poorly known. Here we describe an unusual new nereidid species found at …

Transposable elements (TE) play critical roles in sha** genome evolution. Highly
repetitive TE sequences are also a major source of assembly gaps making it difficult to fully …

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 …

Complex patterns of genome evolution associated with the end-Cretaceous [Cretaceous-
Paleogene (K–Pg)] mass extinction limit our understanding of the early evolutionary history …
