Enigmas no longer: using Ultraconserved Elements to place several unusual hawk taxa and address the non-monophyly of the genus Accipiter (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae)

T. A. Catanach, M. R. Halley, S. Pirro

The paper uses Ultraconserved Elements and whole genome sequencing to revise the taxonomy of hawk genera, confirming non-monophyly of Accipiter and supporting monophyletic genera in Accipitridae.

'Candidatus Tisiphia' is a widespread Rickettsiaceae symbiont in the mosquito Anopheles plumbeus (Diptera: Culicidae)

H. R. Davison, J. Crozier, S. Pirro, D. Werner, G. D. Hurst

The paper identifies Ca. Tisiphia as a widespread symbiont in Anopheles plumbeus, finds it is maternally inherited and has a stable infection rate, and presents its genome to explore phylogeny and metabolism.

Large-scale comparative genomics unravels great genomic diversity across the Rickettsia and Ca. Megaira genera and identifies Torix group as an evolutionarily distinct clade.

H. R. Davison, J. Pilgrim, N. Wybouw, J. Parker, S. Pirro, S. Hunter-Barnett, P. M. Campbell, F. Blow, A. C. Darby, G. D. D. Hurst, S. Siozios

This paper presents new genomes of Rickettsia and Ca. Megaira, identifies Torix as a distinct clade, and proposes a new genus name for it.

Gene-rich X chromosomes implicate intragenomic conflict in the evolution of bizarre genetic systems

N. Anderson, K. S. Jaron, C. N. Hodson, M. B. Couger, J. Sevcik, B. Weinstein, S. Pirro, L. Ross, S. W. Roy

The paper investigates the role of X chromosome gene richness in the evolution of genetic systems with paternal genome elimination, finding increased X linkage in species with such systems.
