Florian Maumus, Anna-Sophie Fiston-Lavier, Hadi Quesneville

Highlights:
Transposable elements are paramount in genome size variation observed across insects.
Transposable elements play a pivotal role in the organization of insect chromosomes and karyotypes.
The transposition-selection model explains remarkably well the genome-wide dynamics of transposable elements.
Transposable elements fuel genetic innovation and mediate adaptation.
