Comprehensive survey of developmental genes in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum: frequent lineage‐specific duplications and losses of developmental genes
Aphids exhibit unique attributes, such as polyphenisms and specialized cells to house
endosymbionts, that make them an interesting system for studies at the interface of ecology …

[HTML][HTML] Germ cell specification requires zygotic mechanisms rather than germ plasm in a basally branching insect
Background Primordial germ cell (PGC) specification is a universal process across animals,
but the molecular mechanisms specifying PGCs are remarkably diverse. In Drosophila …
