Genome evolution and divergence in cis-regulatory architecture is associated with condition-responsive development in horned dung beetles.

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be an important driver of diversification and adaptation to environmental variation, yet the genomic mechanisms mediating plastic trait development and evolution remain poorly understood. The Scarabaeinae, or true dung beetles, are a species-rich clade of insects...
