Phylogenomics recovers multiple origins of portable case-making in caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera), the world's most common underwater architects

P. B. Frandsen, R. W. Holzenthal, M. Espeland, J. Breinholt, J. A. Thomas, S. Simon, A. Y. Kawahara, D. Plotkin, S. Hotaling, Y. Li, C. R. Nelson, O. Niehuis, C. Mayer, L. Podsiadlowski, A. Donath, , X. Zhou

This study uses phylogenomic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of caddisflies, finding that portable case-making evolved independently in three lineages.

Sequential roles for red blood cell binding proteins enable phased commitment to invasion for malaria parasites

M. N. Hart, F. Mohring, S. M. Donvito, J. A. Thomas, N. Muller-Sienerth, G. J. Wright, E. Knuepfer, H. R. Saibil, R. W. Moon

This study identifies the sequential roles of DBP and NBPXa in P. knowlesi merozoite invasion of human RBCs, revealing a phased commitment mechanism that can be targeted with antibodies.
