TL;DR: In this paper, a method that can be used to identify genome wide covalent histone modifications in a group of non-model fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae) was developed by testing and refining protocols that have been used in model organisms including Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: Molecular and morphological data indicate that the pest thrips damaging Myoporum species in California and Hawai'i, Klambothrips myopori, originated in Tasmania, Australia, and may be considered an example of an accidental but beneficial introduction.

TL;DR: This is the first largest effort to provide the new insights into the mitogenomic features, gene arrangement, phylogeny and divergence time estimation of thrips belonging to the order Thysanoptera.

TL;DR: These mitochondrial minicircles for species of Columbicola represent the first feather lice (Philopteridae) for which minicIRcles have been found in a full mitochondrial genome assembly, providing strong evidence that highly fragmented mitochondrial genomes, which are otherwise rare across the Tree of Life, evolved multiple times within parasitic lice.
