of the giant northern hornet, Vespa mandarinia—a species known for its role as pest controller, pollinator and food provider in its native Asian range. It is a recent arrival in North America, where it may threaten native fauna.
Genome evolution allows organisms to adapt to their environment and make the most of their surroundings by developing new behaviors and physiology. "Hornets are carried to different parts of the world accidentally by humans. All that is needed is a small number of mated queens to be transported, hidden in cargo perhaps. The genomes suggest that hornets have lots of genes involved in detecting and responding to chemical cues—these may make them especially good at adapting to hunt different types of prey in non-native regions."
