Maeva Techer et al. report genome assemblies of two honeybee parasitic mites, Varroa destructor and V. jacobsoni. They find that 4.8% of orthologous genes show evidence of positive selection in at least one species, though the genes under selection are distinct between species indicating divergent evolution.
