Comparative genomics reveals carbohydrate enzymatic fluctuations and herbivorous adaptations in arthropods
Our analysis advances the understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms utilized by the megadiverse phylum Arthropoda. We emphasize the critical role of herbivory as a selective force shaping enzymatic strategies, particularly those involved in carbohydrate metabolism. The distribution and exclusivity of carbohydrate-active families across different arthropod groups provide insights into their evolutionary trajectories and offer a clearer picture of the metabolic pathways that led their ancestors to their present forms.
