Picking up where @rita_rebollo left, we spent a couple of years annotating and analyzing the rest of the rice #weevil #genome (ok, the 15% left after removing repeats)! All info presented here is on the huge Additional file 2 in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n
@VargasChavezC and @gabaldonlab performed a comprehensive #phylogenomic analysis of the rice #weevil and found that this insect has a high gene expansion rate when compared to other beetles. 2/n 
With the invaluable help of the SymT group from @INRAE_UMR_BF2I we have also reconstructed the #metabolic pathways from both #symbiotic partners. Specific losses of enzymes in the #weevil genome are limited while its #endosymbiont has suffered much more degradation. 3/n

@Natures_Voice Now @Tomfinch89 shows that combining high-yield farmland with natural habitat and low-yield farmland can reconcile conflict between food production and nature conservation @RSPBScience @_BTO @CamZoology @savebutterflies and @NaturalEngland.
