A Whole‐Genome Investigation of Mitonuclear Discordance in the Trematode Parasite Atriophallophorus winterbourni

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Faster evolution of mitochondrial genomes relative to nuclear genomes creates selective pressure on nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial function to preserve mitonuclear compatibility required for energy production. In isolated populations, such coevolution occurs independently.

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics and Genome Evolution in Anura: Insights From Structure and Gene Order Rearrangements

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
By analyzing 277 anuran mitochondrial genomes, this study reconstructs a robust phylogeny for frogs and toads, tracing their origins to the Triassic and major radiations to the Cretaceous‐Neogene. The research identifies 58 distinct gene arrangement patterns, providing a novel evolutionary framework.

Disentangling Leucocytozoon parasite diversity in the neotropics: Descriptions of two new species and shortcomings of molecular diagnostics for leucocytozoids

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Avian communities from South America harbor an extraordinary diversity of Leucocytozoon species (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae). Here, of 890 birds sampled, 10 (1.2%) were infected with Leucocytozoon parasites. Among them, two new species were discovered

SwarmGenomics: A Unified Pipeline for Individual‐Based Whole‐Genome Analyses

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Advances in sequencing technologies have made whole‐genome data widely accessible, enabling research in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation. However, analysing whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data remains challenging, often requiring multiple specialised tools and substantial bioinformatics expertise.

Combining morphological and molecular data to reconstruct the phylogeny of avian Haemosporida

open access: yes, 2019
The traditional classification of avian Haemosporida is based mainly on morphology and life history traits. Recently, molecular hypotheses have challenged the traditional classification, leading to contradictory opinions on whether morphology is ...

Characterization of the mitogenomes for two sympatric breeding species in Recurvirostridae (Charadriiformes) and their phylogenetic implications

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Recurvirostridae is a family of Charadriiformes that displays an amazing amount of characterization at evolutionary level. The mitogenomes of Himantopus himantopus and Recurvirostra avosetta are 17,378 bp and 16,856 bp in size, respectively.

Molecular phylogenetics and mitogenomics of three avian dicrocoeliids (Digenea: Dicrocoeliidae) and comparison with mammalian dicrocoeliids

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The Dicrocoeliidae are digenetic trematodes mostly parasitic in the bile ducts and gall bladder of various avian and mammalian hosts. Until recently their systematics was based on morphological data only.

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

Marek’s Disease Virus Infection Induced Mitochondria Changes in Chickens

open access: yes, 2019
Mitochondria are crucial cellular organelles in eukaryotes and participate in many cell processes including immune response, growth development, and tumorigenesis. Marek’s disease (MD), caused by an avian alpha-herpesvirus Marek’s disease virus (MDV), is

Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Read Numbers Reveal Consistent Patterns of Microhabitat Use Among Fish Species Within Multiple Lakes and Tidal Creeks

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental DNA metabarcoding detected consistent patterns in microhabitat use of fish species within lakes and tidal creeks. Although richness was similar among microhabitats, multivariate analyses revealed fine‐scale community differentiation aligned with known habitat preferences, demonstrating eDNA reveals habitat use at spatial scales of tens‐of‐
