Evolution of opsin genes in closely-related species of butterflies specialized in different microhabitats Open
Multiple selective pressures can shape the evolution of color vision in animals, by acting on the co- evolution of the opsin genes. How do adaptive processes shape the duplications of opsins, the evolution of their amino acids and the modi…

Hematophagy Generates a Convergent Genomic Signature in Mosquitoes and Sandflies Open
Blood feeding (hematophagy) is widespread across Diptera (true flies), yet the underlying genetic basis remains poorly understood. Using phylogenomics, we show that four gene families associated with neuromodulation, immune responses, embr…

Molecular correlates of swarming behaviour in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> males Open
Mosquitoes are the deadliest vectors of diseases. They impose a huge health burden on human populations spreading parasites as disparate as protozoans (malaria), viruses (yellow fever and more) and nematodes (filariasis) that cause life-th…

Blood-feeding (hematophagy) is widespread across Diptera (true flies), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using phylogenomics, we show that four gene families associated with neuro-modulation, immune response…

Shallow Whole-Genome Sequencing of Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus from Italy and an Updated Picture of Their Evolution Based on Mitogenomics and Barcoding Open
Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus are two invasive mosquitoes native to East Asia that are quickly establishing in temperate regions of Europe. Both species are vectors of arboviruses, but we currently lack a clear understanding of their …
