Abstract Background Papilio bianor Cramer, 1777 (commonly known as the Chinese peacock butterfly) (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) is a widely distributed swallowtail butterfly with wide number of geographic populations ranging from southeast Russia to China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its wing color consists both pigmentary colored scales (black, reddish) structural (iridescent blue or green dust). A high-quality reference genome P. an important foundation for...
Abstract The leaf resemblance of Kallima (Nymphalidae) butterflies is an important ecological adaptive mechanism that increases their survival. However, the genetic underlying adaptation remains unclear owing to a dearth genomic information. Here, we determined karyotype ( n = 31) dead‐leaf butterfly inachus , and generated high‐quality, chromosome‐level assembly (568.92 Mb; contig N50: 19.20 Mb). We also identified candidate Z W chromosomes. To our knowledge, this first study report on...
Swallowtail butterflies (Papilionidae) are a historically significant butterfly group due to their colorful wing patterns, extensive morphological diversity, and phylogenetically important position as sister all other have been widely studied regarding ecological adaption, phylogeny, genetics, evolution. Notably, they contain unique class of pigments, i.e., papiliochromes, which contribute color diversity various biological functions such predator avoidance mate preference. To date, however,...
In this study, we de novo assembled whole genomes of two small body-sized West Pacific sciaenids (Larimichthys polyactis and Collichthys lucidus) compared them with published genome data closely-related, large species crocea Miichthys miiuy) one distantly-related, outgroup (Dicentrarchus labrax). The phylogeny constructed using 7,403 single-copy orthologs shared among the five indicated that L. diverged about 42 MYA. sibling taxa are more closely-related to C. lucidus than M. miiuy. We...
