Genomic content of chemosensory receptors in two sister blister beetles facilitates characterization of chemosensory evolution

Abstract Background More than 2500 species belong to the Meloidae family (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea), members of which produce the potent defensive blistering agent cantharidin and are commonly known as blister beetles or Spanishflies. Cantharidin has recently been used for cancer therapy. Hycleus...
