TL;DR: This article aims to better apprehend the nature of the insect odorscape and its importance to insect behavioral ecology by reviewing the literature specific to different disciplines from plant ecophysiology to insect neuroethology.

TL;DR: The high-quality genome assembly of C. pomonella informs the genetic basis of its invasiveness, suggesting the codling moth has distinctive capabilities and adaptive potential that may explain its worldwide expansion.

TL;DR: This work investigates an unprecedented reorganization of the standard lepidopteran chromosome structure in the green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi) and finds that gene content in P. napi has been extensively rearranged in large collinear blocks, suggesting both a mechanism and a possible role for selection in determining the boundaries of these genome-wide rearrangements.

TL;DR: Combining parallel genome-wide association studies from both host plant and insect herbivore perspectives, plus a comparative analysis across diverse butterfly/plant systems, the authors identify core genes involved in herbivory.

TL;DR: Each of the 19 studied vertebrate species exhibits a unique signature characterized by gene gain and loss, as well as position of amino acids under positive selection, Reflecting these clade-specific signatures, teleosts and eutherian mammals are recovered as clades in a parsimony analysis.
