Batesian mimicry occurs when palatable mimics gain protection from predators by evolving a phenotypic resemblance to an aposematic model species. While common in nature, the mechanisms maintaining mimicry are not fully understood. Patterns of temporal synchrony (i.

- Tineola bisselliella, known as the webbing clothes moth, is a significant pest that damages clothing and textiles, and there is a lack of genomic resources for this and related species.
- The newly assembled genome consists of 30 pseudochromosomes and is highly contiguous, containing over 11,000 annotated genes, making it superior in quality compared to other Tineidae genomes.
- This genome will help researchers understand the evolution of moth karyotypes and explore the mechanisms behind the moth's ability to digest keratin.
