Insights Into Tribal-Level Adaptive Evolution and Phylogeny in Soricinae From Mitogenome of the Chinese Endemic <i>Sorex cansulus</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reveals that natural selection is the main force shaping the mitochondrial protein‐coding genes of zokors, with all five populations exhibiting strong purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation strongly support the monophyly of the subfamily Soricinae, leading to key taxonomic revisions, including the ...

Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT With accelerating biodiversity loss, tracking both inter‐ and intraspecific diversity is critical, as within‐species variation underpins population viability and adaptive potential. We developed a new multi‐locus framework, and obtained an Orthoptera‐specific marker panel targeting 398 nuclear loci plus the mitogenome and ribosomal DNA to ...

Blood Relatives: Linking Evolutionary History and Conservation of Medicinal Leeches (<i>Hirudo</i> spp.). [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Medicinal leeches of the genus Hirudo are both historically important in medicine and increasingly studied as models in ecology and biomedicine. However, the taxonomy, population structure and evolutionary history of this genus remain partially unresolved.

Genomic Insights Into the Evolutionary History of Berardius Beaked Whales: Speciation Driven by Resource Specialization, Gigantism and Thermal Barriers? [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Ovophis makazayazaya</i> (Viperidae, Crotalinae) and Phylogenetic Analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study sequenced and annotated the complete 17,230 bp mitochondrial genome of Ovophis makazayazaya, which contains 13 protein‐coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a D‐loop region, with a significant AT bias (57.2%). Phylogenetic analyses confirmed its placement within Crotalinae, and all PCGs showed evidence of purifying selection (Ka/Ks < 1)

Organelle genome evolution in the early-diverging brown algal lineage, Ishigeales. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract The order Ishigeales is an early‐diverging lineage of brown algae that exhibits remarkable morphological diversity ranging from simple filamentous forms to robust terete and foliose thalli, which may reflect complex evolutionary histories in their organelle genomes.

Structure and evolution of the complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Sciaenidae) [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2020
Background. Overfishing and habitat degradation caused a decline of populations of many fish species belonging to the speciose family Sciaenidae.

The first complete mitochondrial genome in the family Attevidae (Atteva aurea) of the order Lepidoptera [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
The superfamily Yponomeutoidea, one of the early-derived groups in the order Lepidoptera, consists of 11 families. However, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences, popularly used for phylogeny and evolutionary tracing, are available for only seven ...

Complete mitogenome assemblies from a panel of 13 diverse potato taxa

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited and is shown to affect nuclear–cytoplasmic interactions in potato. Analyzing the mitogenome helps understand the evolutionary relationships and improve breeding programs in potato.

Mitochondrial genome characterization of Gryllodes sigillatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) and its phylogenetic implications

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Gryllodes sigillatus is a cricket widely distributed throughout the world. In this study, we reported the first complete mitogenome sequence of Genus Gryllodes and inferred its phylogeny. The mitogenome of G.
