Ancestral genomic stasis and coordinated genome erosion underlies asymmetric acarine diversification
Mites and ticks (Acari) constitute one of the most species-rich and ecologically diverse arachnid radiations, yet their interrelationships and genomic mechanisms underlying their diversification remain poorly resolved. Here, we reconstructed the evolutionary relationships and trajectory of Parasitiformes using phylogenetics and comparative genomics to test the phylogenetic signal in rare genomic…
