Aboriginal Australian mitochondrial genome variation - An increased understanding of population antiquity and diversity [PDF]
Aboriginal Australians represent one of the oldest continuous cultures outside Africa, with evidence indicating that their ancestors arrived in the ancient landmass of Sahul (present-day New Guinea and Australia) ∼55 thousand years ago.

ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Exopalaemon annandalei
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Exopalaemon annandalei was amplified and analyzed. The mitogenome is 15,718 bp in length, encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region (CR ...

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Tetrigoidea (Insecta, Orthoptera), with a focus on the genus Zhengitettix [PDF]
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been widely used to infer the phylogeny, origin and evolution of Orthopteran insects. Although several mitogenomic data have been used to study the phylogenetic relationships of Tetrigoidea (Orthoptera), the ...

Independent evolution of sexual dimorphism and female-limited mimicry in swallowtail butterflies (Papilio dardanus and Papilio phorcas) [PDF]
Several species of Swallowtail butterflies (genus Papilio) are Batesian mimics that express multiple mimetic female forms, while the males are monomorphic and non-mimetic.

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...

Three New Ranidae Mitogenomes and the Evolution of Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangements among Ranidae Species [PDF]
Various types of gene rearrangements have been discovered in the mitogenoes of the frog family Ranidae. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of three Rana frogs.
