We set out to investigate polygenic footprints of altitude adaptation in a moth species, but instead we uncovered a major selective sweep at genes often associated with insecticide resistance @prrnhd.bsky.social @schifanoalexandre.bsky.social @mgda76.bsky.social @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social
A major selective sweep likely linked to insecticide resistance identified along altitudinal gradients in the pine processionary moth https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.24.690095v1

The first chromosome-scale genome assembly for the Pine Processionary Moth - Thaumetopoea pityocampa: 615.9 Mb long, 50 chromosomes, recombination rate from 1.98 to 11.6 cM/Mb between chromosomes, 49.1% of repeats, 12,898 gene models. @mgda76.bsky.social ‪@cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social‬
A Chromosome-Level Assembly of the Pine Processionary Moth (Thaume-topoea pityocampa) genome
We present a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae), a key forest pest that is a public health concern. The...

Here we used population genomics to investigate a well-known case of allochronic divergence, reconstructing demographic history, assessing inbreeding and genetic load, and identifying loci associated with allochrony. @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social
Population genomics of incipient allochronic divergence in the Pine Processionary Moth
Allochronic divergence is a key evolutionary mechanism that can frequently lead to incipient speciation. Although theoretical models suggest that such divergence is notably facilitated by small popula...

Les insecticides, herbicides & fongicides affectent un large éventail d'espèces non ciblées et peuvent être liés à la perte de biodiversité à l'échelle mondiale. Une synthèse de 1 705 études donne une preuve supplémentaire de leur rôle dans l’effondrement du vivant.
