This study examines the relationship between climatic suitability and effective population size in two dragonfly species, finding they are not directly correlated.

This study tests hypotheses about ancient introgression and gene flow in Pacific salmonids, finding introgression between trout and salmon ancestors but not between trout lineages.

This study compares community science and AI-driven observations of dragonfly reproductive behaviors in an urban area, finding strong correlations in species counts but biases in reproductive behavior detection.

The paper presents the first high-quality genome assembly of a strepsipteran species and compares it with two others, finding a conserved genomic blueprint for obligate endoparasitism.

The paper analyzes genome data from spittlebugs in vineyards and quasi-natural populations, revealing cryptic population structure, life-history divergence, and insecticide resistance.

This paper presents the first assembled genome of Aeshna juncea, revealing transposon-driven genome size variation and population bottlenecks in Arctic populations.

GhostParser identifies ghost introgression in phylogenomic datasets using scalable summary statistics, outperforming full likelihood methods in simulations and matching their accuracy on empirical data.

The paper compares eDNA metabarcoding and community science for monitoring Odonata in urban ecosystems, finding both methods have distinct strengths and limitations.

This study shows that tectonic uplift and oceanic separation shape the distribution and speciation of Kapokapowai dragonflies in New Zealand.

This study identifies genes and adaptations in the blue dasher dragonfly that enable survival in urban environments and predicts its spread with urbanization.

This study identifies gene family expansions in two dragonfly families, linking them to ecological and life history traits, and finds Odonata has lower gene turnover than other insects.

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly of the Black Petaltail dragonfly, providing the first such assembly for a non-libelluloid dragonfly.
