- Assessing genotype-phenotype associations in three dorsal colour morphs in the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) using genomic and transcriptomic resourcesPublication . Rodrigues, Ana S. B.; Silva, Sara Ema; Pina-Martins; Loureiro, João; Castro, Mariana; Gharbi, Karim; Johnson, Kevin P.; Dietrich, Christopher H.; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Quartau, J. A.; Jiggins, Chris D.; Paulo, Octávio S.; Seabra, Sofia G.Colour polymorphisms are common among animal species. When combined with genetic and ecological data, these polymorphisms can be excellent systems in which to understand adaptation and the molecular changes underlying phenotypic evolution. The meadow spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (L.) (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae), a widespread insect species in the Holarctic region, exhibits a striking dorsal colour/pattern balanced polymorphism. Although experimental crosses have revealed the Mendelian inheritance of this trait, its genetic basis remains unknown. In this study we aimed to identify candidate genomic regions associated with the colour balanced polymorphism in this species.

- Correction to: Assessing genotype-phenotype associations in three dorsal colour morphs in the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) using genomic and transcriptomic resourcesPublication . Rodrigues, Ana S. B.; Silva, Sara Ema; Pina Martins, Francisco; Loureiro, João; Castro, Mariana; Gharbi, Karim; Johnson, Kevin P.; Dietrich, Christopher H.; Borges, Paulo .A.V.; Quartau, José A.; Jiggins, Chris D.; Paulo, Octávio S.; Seabra, Sofia G.Following publication of the original article [1], it has been brought to the authors’ attention that in their paper (Rodrigues et al. 2016) they reported the genome size based on 2C values (diploid genome) when it is more common to present it as 1C value. This has led to a misinterpretation of the percentage of the genome that was sequenced. However, none of the remaining analyses were affected.
