The paper presents 183 new genome assemblies for 179 drosophilid species using single-fly long-read sequencing, improving phylogenomic coverage and enabling a well-resolved multi-locus phylogeny.

The paper shows compensatory mutations can drive rapid evolutionary recovery in gene regulatory networks through simulations, leading to increased complexity and biased network evolution.

The paper catalogs sperm and seminal fluid proteins in Aedes aegypti using mass spectrometry and transcriptomics, identifying 870 sperm proteins and 280 seminal fluid proteins, with enrichment on chromosome 1.

The paper compares sperm proteomes across Lepidoptera species to reveal evolutionary patterns of constraint and novelty in spermatogenesis.
