Evolutionary insights from the mitochondrial genomes of invasive scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha): large-scale transfer RNA gene truncations and tandem repeat-driven intraspecific gene rearrangements

BMC Genomics
Background Coccomorphan mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exhibit a suite of unconventional genomic features. However, the insufficient mitogenomic data from Coccomorpha, which includes numerous economically important plant pests, hampers not only the ...

Fungal Associates of Soft Scale Insects (Coccomorpha: Coccidae)

Cells, 2021
Ophiocordyceps fungi are commonly known as virulent, specialized entomopathogens; however, recent studies indicate that fungi belonging to the Ophiocordycypitaceae family may also reside in symbiotic interaction with their host insect.
