Genetic Mechanisms underlying Preference-Performance Mismatches: Insights from a Specialized Native Herbivore on an Invasive Toxic Plant

The paper investigates preference-performance mismatches in a specialist herbivore by analyzing gene expression in larvae feeding on toxic vs. native plants, finding differences in detoxification and developmental genes.

Gene family evolution in brassicaceous-feeding insects: Implications for adaptation and host plant range.

The paper examines gene family evolution in Brassicaceae-feeding lepidopterans to understand how detoxification and sensory genes relate to host plant range specialization.

Cryptic, extensive and non-random chromosome reorganization revealed by a butterfly chromonome

The paper reveals extensive, non-random chromosome reorganization in the green-veined white butterfly through fission and fusion events, despite maintaining a standard haploid chromosome count and gene collinearity.
