Tree-killing bark beetles are the most economically important insects in conifer forests
worldwide. However, despite> 200 years of research, the drivers of population eruptions and …

Abstract The Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM) format file is the text file used to record
alignment information. Alignment is the core of sequencing analysis, and downstream tasks …

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), an endangered Himalaya-endemic mammal, has been
classified as two subspecies or even two species–the Himalayan red panda (A. fulgens) and …

Incorrect species delimitation will lead to inappropriate conservation decisions, especially
for threatened species. The takin (Budorcas taxicolor) is a large artiodactyl endemic to the …

Diverse natural products are synthesized in plants by specialized metabolic enzymes, which
are often lineage‐specific and derived from gene duplication followed by functional …

Maternally transmitted Wolbachia infect about half of insect species, yet the predominant
mode (s) of Wolbachia acquisition remains uncertain. Species-specific associations could …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Major relationships within Lamiidae, an asterid clade with∼
40000 species, have largely eluded resolution despite two decades of intensive study. The …

Newts of the genus Triturus (marbled and crested newts) exhibit substantial variation in the
number of trunk vertebrae (NTV) and a higher NTV corresponds to a longer annual aquatic …

A critical consideration when using molecular ecological methods to detect trends and
parameterize models at very fine spatial and temporal scales has always been the technical …

Gathering genomic‐scale data efficiently is challenging for nonmodel species with large,
complex genomes. Transcriptome sequencing is accessible for organisms with large …
