The mitogenome of Halotydeus destructor (Tucker) and its relationships with other trombidiform mites as inferred from nucleotide sequences and gene arrangements. [PDF]
We report the complete mitogenome sequence of the redlegged earth mite, Halotydeus destructor (Tucker). We used Bayesian phylogenetic analyses to contextualize the relationship of H. destructor with other trombidiform mites. Phylogenies were inferred from protein‐coding and rRNA genes using nucleotide sequences and a novel characterization of gene ...
