Whole-genome long-read sequencing of the Dsuz-WT3_v2.0 D. suzukii strain The Dsuz-WT3_v2.0 D. suzukii individuals used to produce our genome assembly derived, after six additional generations of full-sib crossing, from the WT3 isofemale strain (here named Dsuz-WT3_v1.0) that was previously established from a female sampled in Watsonville (USA) and sequenced by9. The Dsuz-WT3_v2.0 strain hence went […] More

Most studies on Müllerian mimicry have focused on behaviour, predators’ choice, and modelling, usually under controlled conditions. We suggest that the phylogeny and structure of real Müllerian communities can test experimental results and elucidate the origins of numerous patterns, their long-term coexistence, imperfect similarity, and mimetic polymorphism7,8,11,35. A similar approach has been used for studies […] More

Classifying the tree-level dataset The Sierra Nevada mountains have unique species assemblages following strong topographic gradients, with the most dominant shifts controlled by topography12,13. In the low elevations the canopy is dominated by pines, shifting to fir species in high elevations. South-facing slopes tend to be dominated by drought-tolerant species, while North-facing slopes hold species […] More

Sample collection All samples were taken from Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary with the permission from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), the approval number DNP 0907.4/4411. A research ethics statement was granted by the Mahidol University-Institute Animal Care and Use Committee (MU-IACUC 2016/026). Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary (14°8′37.09″N, 99°20′33.51″E, area: ~ 860 km2) is located […] More

A total of 44 genomes sequenced from AOA cultured species or extracted from environmental metagenomes, representing all known ammonia-oxidizing thaumarchaeotal orders, were analyzed and compared in the present study (Table S1). In addition to the 30 genomes that have been previously reported, seven marine and two terrestrial AOA culture genomes as well as five MAGs from […] More
