Cryptic diversity and impacts of domestication in the Black Soldier Fly ( <i>Hermetia illucens</i> ) genome
2023-10-25
Abstract excerpt
The Black Soldier Fly ( Hermetia illucens ) is the main species in the developing global industry of insects as food and feed, but little is known about its natural diversity or the genetic basis of its domestication. We obtained whole genome sequences for 54 individuals from both wild and captive populations. We identified two genetic lineages at least 3 million years divergent, revealing cryptic diversity withi...
