Table 2 Significant expansion (E) or contraction (C) of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri in gene families encoding chemosensor, digestive and detoxifying enzymes and immunity as detected with CAFE in comparison to the other beetle genomes. Orthologous genes were identified by Orthofinder. The number of genes in each family are shown for each species. These gene families contain protein domain of: odorant receptors (OR), odorant binding protein (OBP), maltase, glycosyl hydrolase (GH), trypsin, cathepsin, cytochrome P450 (P450), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), carboxylesterase (CE) and attacin. Abbreviations of the tested species are defined in Table 1
