The Shape and Dimensionality of Phylogenetic Tree-Space Based on Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

, 2010
Phylogenetic analyses of large and diverse data sets generally result in large sets of competing phylogenetic trees. Consensus tree methods used to summarize sets of competing trees discard important information regarding the similarity and distribution ...

The trouble with MEAM2: Implications of pseudogenes on species delimitation in the globally invasive Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) cryptic species complex [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular species identification using sub-optimal PCR primers can over-estimate species diversity due to co-amplification of nuclear mitochondrial (NUMT) DNA/pseudogenes.

Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) bycatch in the Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A large tuna was hooked by a Japanese longline fishery in the high seas near the Republic of Namibia. This fishing ground is mainly utilized for Thunnus albacares, Thunnus obesus and Thunnus alalunga by Japanese tuna longliners. Because the tuna was larger than the common size of these species, the specimen was sampled for genetic species ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the common dolphin Delphinus delphis (Cetacea: Delphinidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
We report the complete mitogenome of the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis. Overall structure of the 16,387 bp mitogenome was very similar to those of other delphinid species, including the ancient D. delphis individuals.

Evolutionary history of the Nesophontidae, the last unplaced Recent mammal family [PDF]

, 2016
The mammalian evolutionary tree has lost several major clades through recent human-caused extinctions. This process of historical biodiversity loss has particularly affected tropical island regions such as the Caribbean, an area of great evolutionary ...

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Unravelling Taxonomic Complexity in Elusive Cetaceans: Mitogenome Insights into Evolutionary History and Cryptic Diversity of Bryde's Whales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The Bryde's whale is one of the least understood baleen whale species globally, limiting accuracy of regional and global conservation assessment. This study shows the occurrence of unique genetic lineages and evolutionary histories among Bryde's whale populations.

Comparative mitogenomics of Clitellata reveals mitogenome organization can affect the mode of phylogeny

Turkish Journal of Zoology
Clitellata is a major clade of Annelida that includes almost all freshwater and terrestrial annelids as well as many marine species. Aquatic oligochaetes include the union of the two multispecies families: Naididae and Tubificidae. There has been much debate regarding the phylogeny and classification of the cosmopolitan and diverse Naididae.

Higher-level phylogeny of Chrysomelidae based on expanded sampling of mitogenomes

PLOS ONE, 2022
Chrysomelidae is one of the most diverse lineages of beetles. The classification and phylogeny of Chrysomelidae have been contentious. In this study, we obtained 16 new mitogenome sequences by using next-generation sequencing. Combined with the published mitogenomes, we inferred the phylogenetic relationships of Chrysomelidae.
