Abstract:Invasive species cause enormous economic and ecological damage. Climate change has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number and impact of invaders. The mechanisms underlying invasions, however, are largely unclear. The sycamore lace bug,Corythucha ciliata, is a highly invasive species that originated in North America. Its population has expanded over the Northern Hemisphere since the 1960s. In this study, we assemble the lace bug's genome using high-coverage PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C sequencing. We… Show more
