TL;DR: It is shown that the generalist aphid pest M. persicae is able to colonise diverse host plant species in the absence of genetic specialisation through rapid transcriptional plasticity of genes that have duplicated during aphid evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary genomics of anthroponosis in Cryptosporidium.

TL;DR: It is shown that Cryptosporidium parvum splits into two subclades and that the specialist anthroponotic subtype IIc-a shares a subset of loci with C. hominis that is undergoing rapid convergent evolution driven by positive selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ancient Britons: groundwater fauna survived extreme climate change over tens of millions of years across NW Europe

TL;DR: It is found that two species of stygobitic invertebrates have not only survived the entire Pleistocene in refugia but have persisted for at least 19.5 million years, suggesting resilience to extreme climate change and strongly contrasting the patterns seen in surface fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple global radiations in tadpole shrimps challenge the concept of ‘living fossils’
TL;DR: The results suggest at least two bouts of global radiation in Notostraca, one of them recent, so questioning the validity of the ‘living fossils’ concept in groups where cryptic speciation is widespread is questioned.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the evolution of resistance in the aphid Myzus persicae and reveal that the emergence and spread of these mechanisms is influenced by host-plant associations.
