Hemipteran insects experience recurrent and synergistic molecular evolution adapting to diet shift
In conclusion, the evolution of zoophagy in Hemiptera and the reversal of feeding traits might require the synergistic regulations at both genomic and transcriptomic levels. Our study provides a potential connection between genotype and phenotype and advances the understanding of the adaptive evolution of zoophagous insects.
