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...

🚀 A new version of BayPass (v3.0) is now available for GEA/pGWAS analyses. This update brings support for Genotype-Likelihood data, hybrid datasets (allele counts and/or Pool-Seq and/or GL), or local-score computation (see updated manual).

Life cycle of C. foraseminis. Eggs (a) are laid on the pod surface and larvae enter the fruit blocking the entry hole (d). 1. Once the larvae have fed, mostly on the mucilage surrounding the cocoa beans (b), they pupate inside the pod (c. shows a chrysalid extracted from a pod). Adults (as the male in c) leave the pod through an exit hole (larger than the entry hole), which is often clearly distinguishable by the presence of exudates (e). In (c), units are in centimetres.
