The paper investigates whether male and female sexually antagonistic traits in water striders share a genetic basis, finding they are linked to a common developmental genetic program.

The study identifies the Fat/Hippo pathway as a key regulator of photoperiod-induced wing length polyphenism in Gerris buenoi through transcriptomic analysis and RNA interference.

The study identifies a single giant cell responsible for developing a key innovation in water striders, showing its role in activating cuticular genes and being restricted by Hox genes to mid-legs.

The paper examines transcriptomic responses in synthetic allohexaploid wheat and finds minimal gene expression changes, primarily on the D subgenome, with no significant TE-gene associations.

The paper examines how sexual selection influences sex-biased gene expression and genome architecture in water striders by analyzing genome and transcriptome data from males with exaggerated traits.

The paper presents the milkweed bug genome and comparative analyses to study molecular evolution and feeding ecology in Hemiptera.

The paper reports the sequencing and manual annotation of the Gerris buenoi genome, identifying gene expansions linked to adaptations for aquatic life.
