Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Smerinthus caecus (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of Smerinthus caecus Ménétriés, 1857. The mitogenome of S. caecus is a circular structure, and 15,363 bp long in size and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes ...

Characterization of Seventeen Complete Mitochondrial Genomes: Structural Features and Phylogenetic Implications of the Lepidopteran Insects [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) are widely distributed in the world, but high-level phylogeny in Lepidoptera remains uncertain. More mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) data can help to conduct comprehensive analysis and construct a robust phylogenetic

Phylogenomics resolves major relationships and reveals significant diversification rate shifts in the evolution of silk moths and relatives [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Silkmoths and their relatives constitute the ecologically and taxonomically diverse superfamily Bombycoidea, which includes some of the most charismatic species of Lepidoptera. Despite displaying spectacular forms and diverse ecological traits,

Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Bombycoidea Insects and Implications for Their Phylogeny [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The mitochondrial genome (mt genome) provides important information for understanding molecular evolution and phylogenetics. As such, the two complete mt genomes of Ampelophaga rubiginosa and Rondotia menciana were sequenced and annotated.

The Filippi’s Glands of Giant Silk Moths: To Be or Not to Be? [PDF]
Insects, 2021 The Filippi’s glands (FGs), formerly “Lyonet’s glands”, are paired accessory organs associated with the silk glands. They are unique to Lepidoptera caterpillars and their exact role is not clear.

The Primary Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Lappet Moth Brahmophthalma hearseyi (Lepidoptera: Brahmaeidae) and Related Phylogenetic Analysis [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Background: Brahmophthalma hearseyi (Lepidoptera: Brahmaeidae) is widely distributed across China. Its larvae damage the leaves of many plants such as those belonging to the Oleaceae family, causing significant economic losses and seriously affecting the

Cis-regulatory evolution of Wnt family genes contributes to a morphological difference between silkworm species. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyClosely related species often exhibit distinct morphologies that can contribute to species-specific adaptations and reproductive isolation. One example is Lepidopteran caterpillar appendages, such as the "caudal horn" of Bombycoidea moths, which have ...
