Genomics of Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) Species Associated With Terrestrial Habitats
, did not reveal molecular differences compared with silk of aquatic caddisfly species, potentially owing to the humid environments that both species inhabit. The new genomes form key resources for future genomic research on insect evolution, particularly related to habitat diversification and aquatic-terrestrial transitions.
