The genomic and cellular basis of biosynthetic innovation in #RoveBeetles: Sheila Kitchen et al. https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(24)00521-X

"The rove #beetle tergal gland is this incredible, reprogrammable device for making new chemistries and evolving new interactions. It enabled these beetles to achieve extreme forms of ecological specialization."

Beetles conquered Earth by evolving their own biochemical laboratory, new study finds

As organisms diversified on planet Earth, some branches of the tree of life became exceptionally diverse, others far less so. Still others went extinct. Why evolution favored certain groups over others is a long-standing question in evolutionary science.
