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

This study identifies genomic features of Apibacter that reflect its transition from a free-living or parasitic lifestyle to a mutualistic gut symbiont of honey bees.

The paper reports the first long-read de novo genome assemblies of two tube case-making caddisflies, revealing substantial repetitive element expansion contributing to larger genome sizes compared to annulipalpian species.

The paper reports the first high-quality genome assembly of the earthworm Amynthas corticis, revealing insights into its adaptive traits and defensive mechanisms.
