Various animals are associated with specific endosymbiotic microorganisms that provide the
host with essential nutrients or confer protection against natural enemies. Genomic analyses …

Organisms across the tree of life colonize novel environments by partnering with bacterial
symbionts. These symbioses are characterized by intimate integration of host/endosymbiont …

RNA interference (RNAi)‐based technologies are starting to be commercialized as a new
approach for agricultural pest control. Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs), which have …

Genome structural variations, including duplications, deletions, insertions, and inversions,
are central in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes. However, structural variations present …

Plant sap-feeding insects are widespread, having evolved to occupy diverse environmental
niches despite exclusive feeding on an impoverished diet lacking in essential amino acids …

Both traditional as well as 10 more recent methods of coding characters from exons of
protein‐coding genes are reviewed. The more recent methods collectively blur the …

The cotton-melon aphid Aphis gossypii Glover is a severe pest worldwide. Interhaplotype
genomic variation can be used as a starting point to analyze the adaptability of Ap. gossypii …

Aphids are a diverse group of taxa that contain agronomically important species, which vary
in their host range and ability to infest crop plants. The genome evolution underlying …

Bathymodioline mussels dominate deep-sea methane seep and hydrothermal vent habitats
and obtain nutrients and energy primarily through chemosynthetic endosymbiotic bacteria in …

Interactions between plants and herbivorous insects have been models for theories of
specialization and co‐evolution for over a century. Phytochemicals govern many aspects of …
