Genome-wide macroevolutionary signatures of key innovations in butterflies colonizing new host plants
The mega-diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their co-evolutionary associations
with plants. Despite abundant studies on insect-plant interactions, we do not know whether …

Comparative transcriptome analyses reveal core parasitism genes and suggest gene duplication and repurposing as sources of structural novelty
The origin of novel traits is recognized as an important process underlying many major
evolutionary radiations. We studied the genetic basis for the evolution of haustoria, the novel …
