Mitochondrial genome evolution in Alismatales: Size reduction and extensive loss of ribosomal protein genes [PDF]
The order Alismatales is a hotspot for evolution of plant mitochondrial genomes characterized by remarkable differences in genome size, substitution rates, RNA editing, retrotranscription, gene loss and intron loss.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of Parabotia kiangsiensis (Cypriniformes: Botiidae)
Parabotia kiangsiensis is an endemic species of genus Parabotia in China. In this study, we sequenced the complete mito-genome of P. kiangsiensis. The genome is 16,592 base pair (bp) in length, encoding 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA ...

Distinguishing between incomplete lineage sorting and genomic introgressions: complete fixation of allospecific mitochondrial DNA in a sexually reproducing fish (Cobitis; Teleostei), despite clonal reproduction of hybrids. [PDF]
Distinguishing between hybrid introgression and incomplete lineage sorting causing incongruence among gene trees in that they exhibit topological differences requires application of statistical approaches that are based on biologically relevant models ...

The Complete Mitogenome of the Mountain Chicken Frog, Leptodactylus fallax [PDF]
The mountain chicken frog (Leptodactylus fallax) is a critically endangered frog native to the Caribbean islands of Dominica and Montserrat. Over the past 25 years their populations have declined by over 85%, largely due to a chytridiomycosis outbreak ...

Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans [PDF]
Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference phylogeny is still lacking for the 31 described species. Here we used Illumina
