The paper shows that horizontally acquired genes in bdelloid rotifers are more likely to be upregulated against fungal pathogens than against desiccation stress.

This study analyzes TE dynamics in bdelloid rotifers, finding active TEs at frequencies similar to sexual species and expanded RNAi-related genes.

The paper shows that supergene alleles in Heliconius numata butterflies arise from introgression of a chromosomal inversion, leading to balanced polymorphism and mimicry polymorphism.

This study compares genome evolution in bdelloid rotifers to assess the impact of asexuality and desiccation tolerance, finding that desiccation is not the primary driver of genomic features previously attributed to asexuality.

The paper shows that claims of horizontal genetic transfer in bdelloid rotifers are due to cross-contamination rather than actual genetic exchange.
