The on-off pattern in the evolution of the presence of bioluminescence in a derived lineage from fireflies of Mexico (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)

Santiago Zaragoza-Caballero et al.

Summary: This article presents a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis of the genus Photinus, including representatives previously assigned to Macrolampis and Ellychnia. The study examines a total of 137 terminals, 15 genera, and 135 morphological characters. The research discusses the relevance of genital morphology, photogenic organs, and bioluminescence to the delimitation of these genera, offering insights into their correlation with other morphological structures. Additionally, the article proposes new combinations and names for certain species.

Bioluminescence Color-Tuning Firefly Luciferases: Engineering and Prospects for Real-Time Intracellular pH Imaging and Heavy Metal Biosensing

Vadim R. Viviani et al.

Summary: Firefly luciferases can be used as color-tuning sensors to estimate intracellular pH variations, toxic metal concentrations, and temperature ratiometrically. They can also be engineered to be more specific to certain metals. These enzymes have the potential to be used for real-time imaging of intracellular dynamics and stress.

Phylogenomic relationships of bioluminescent elateroids define the 'lampyroid' clade with clicking Sinopyrophoridae as its earliest member

Dominik Kusy et al.

Summary: The study suggests that bioluminescence in Elateridae, Lampyridae, Phengodidae, and Rhagophthalmidae has a single origin, forming the 'lampyroid clade'. Soft-bodied bioluminescent elateroid beetles likely evolved from fully sclerotized elateroids, with bioluminescence possibly arising in Elateridae in the mid-Cretaceous period in eastern Laurasia. This research provides a phylogenetic framework for studying genomic variation in the evolution of bioluminescence.

Click Beetle Mitogenomics with the Definition of a New Subfamily Hapatesinae from Australasia (Coleoptera: Elateridae)

Dominik Kusy et al.

Summary: The study revisited the classification of click beetles by sequencing mitochondrial genomes of eight species, proposing new subfamilies and transferring groups to new statuses. The deep splits between different subfamilies were supported by phylogenetic analyses using mitochondrial genomes. The results suggest a Gondwanan origin for certain lineages within Elateridae.

Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Mullerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions

Michal Motyka et al.

Summary: Biologists have studied the chemical defences and phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles and their co-mimics. The research illustrates the appearance and distribution of hundreds of lycid species and their co-mimics, as well as their evolutionary patterns using a transcriptomic backbone. The study reveals the evolution of aposematic patterns and the complex mimetic communities in different regions.

BUSCO Update: Novel and Streamlined Workflows along with Broader and Deeper Phylogenetic Coverage for Scoring of Eukaryotic, Prokaryotic, and Viral Genomes

Mose Manni et al.

Summary: The BUSCO software provides essential methods for assessing the quality of genomic and metagenomic data, offering new functionalities and improvements to streamline the process. It is capable of evaluating both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species, and can be used across various data types including genome assemblies, metagenomic bins, transcriptomes, and gene sets.

Insect Collections as an Untapped Source of Bioactive Compounds-Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) and Cardiotonic Steroids as a Proof of Concept

Andreas Berger et al.

Summary: This study identified lucibufagins in European species of fireflies and discovered bufadienolides in Lampyrinae beetles. By using a non-destructive approach to analyze compounds extracted from museum specimens, the research highlighted the value of insect collections as a resource for ecological and evolutionary research. The findings emphasize the potential of natural history collections as an untapped source of novel bioactive compounds.
