Evolutionary dynamics of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes reflects feeding ecology in weevils

Many herbivorous beetles depend on plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) to access the nutritious plant cell content. However, the evolution of PCWDEs in weevils, the most diverse lineage of herbivores, remains poorly understood. Using transcriptomic and genomic analyses of 45 weevil species spanning the majority...

Evolutionary diversification of the biological screw joint in weevils

Complex biomechanical innovations are often treated as discrete evolutionary breakthroughs, yet their diversification within large radiations remains poorly understood. Beetle leg joints provide a striking example: some weevils possess screw-like coxa-trochanteral articulations in which rotation and axial displacement...
