The genome of the blind bee louse fly reveals deep convergences with its social host and illuminates Drosophila origins

2022-11-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The nests of social insects often harbor a rich fauna of intruders known as inquilines. 1 Social inquilines are usually closely-related to their host due to potential genetic predispositions, 2,3 but how phylogenetically distant non-social inquilines adapt to their hosts remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the genome of the wingless and blind bee louse fly Braula coeca , an inquiline kleptopara...
