New manuscript on genome-wide adaptations for invasion success in Sesamia inferens now out!1/24/2024 Our new manuscript describing genome-wide adaptations to invasion in the pink rice borer, Sesamia inferens is now out in Insects. We use a combination of evolutionary population genomics and comparative analyses to estimate strong selection at insect cuticle glycine-rich cuticular protein genes which are associated with enhanced desiccation adaptability, and at the histone-lysine-N-methyltransferase gene associated with range expansion and local adaptation. Read here! Congrats to Scott Monahan and Ryan Buck on co-authoring this massive work!
