Odonata is an order of insects that comprises ∼6500 species. They are among the earliest flying insects, and one of the first diverging lineages in the Pterygota. Odonate evolution has been a topic of research for over 100 years, with studies focusing primarily on their flight behavior, color, vision, and aquatic juvenile lifestyles. Recent genomics studies have provided new interpretations about the evolution of these traits. In this paper, we look at how high-throughput sequence data (i.e. subgenomic and genomic data) have been used to answer long-standing questions in Odonata ranging from evolutionary relationships to vision evolution to flight behavior. Additionally, we evaluate these data at multiple taxonomic levels (i.e. ordinal, familial, generic, and population) and provide comparative analysis of genomes across Odonata, identifying features of these new data. Last, we discuss the next two years of Odonata genomic study, with context about what questions are currently being tackled.
蜻蜓目是昆虫纲中的一个目，包含约 6500 个物种。它们是最早飞行的昆虫之一，也是翼龙目中最早分化的谱系之一。蜻蜓目的进化一直是研究的主题，已有 100 多年的历史，研究主要集中在它们的飞行行为、颜色、视觉和水生幼体生活方式上。最近的基因组学研究为这些特征的进化提供了新的解释。在本文中，我们研究了高通量测序数据（即亚基因组和基因组数据）如何用于回答蜻蜓目中从进化关系到视觉进化再到飞行行为等长期存在的问题。此外，我们还在多个分类学水平（即目、科、属和种群）上评估了这些数据，并对蜻蜓目中的基因组进行了比较分析，确定了这些新数据的特征。最后，我们讨论了未来两年的蜻蜓目基因组研究，并介绍了目前正在解决的问题。
