TL;DR: The authors investigated the genomic basis of vectorial capacity and explore new avenues for vector control, sequenced the genomes of 16 anopheline mosquito species from diverse locations spanning ~100 million years of evolution Comparative analyses show faster rates of gene gain and loss, elevated gene shuffling on the X chromosome, and more intron losses, relative to Drosophila.

TL;DR: This work applies the technique of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to an intertidal snail whose populations display a cline in shell shape across vertical gradients on rocky shores and finds that about 5% of these loci show greater differentiation than expected, providing evidence of the effects of selection across the cline.

TL;DR: These data revealed complex population structure and patterns of gene flow, with evidence of ancient expansions, recent bottlenecks, and local variation in effective population size.

TL;DR: In the primary African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, a single enzyme, CYP6M2, confers resistance to two classes of insecticide, which is unique evidence in a disease vector of cross-resistance associated with a single metabolic gene that simultaneously reduces the efficacy of two of the four classes of Insecticide routinely used for malaria control.

TL;DR: Two A. aegypti populations from Ceará are under strong selection pressure by temephos, compromising the field effectiveness of this organophosphate, and resistance to cypermethrin is shown in two of the three populations studied.
