Searching for signatures of selection in the Iberian honey bee (Apis mellifera iberiensis) using allele-environment association approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the current context of a global human-mediated environmental crisis, understanding which genes and mechanisms are responsible for adaptation to different climates will enable predictions on how organisms will respond to a rapidly changing world. This

Genomic Insights and Matrilineal Evolution Reveal Potential Dispersal Patterns of Chitala Species (Osteoglossomorpha: Notopteridae) in the Sundaland Biodiversity Hotspot

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of Chitala borneensis and the re‐sequencing of Chitala lopis from Sundaland. Analyses of genetic structure, matrilineal phylogenies, and TimeTree‐based divergence estimates elucidate the evolutionary history and dispersal dynamics of extant Chitala species.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Hexapoda and suggest the paraphyly of Entognatha [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundMolecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that Hexapoda and Crustacea form a common clade (the Pancrustacea), which is now widely accepted among zoologists; however, the origin of Hexapoda remains unresolved.

Mitogenomic and Metabarcoding Resources for the Study and Conservation of Keystone Neotropical Raptors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We characterized complete mitochondrial genomes for nine keystone Neotropical raptors, including four threatened and five near‐threatened species, providing essential resources for phylogenetic and conservation studies. We also developed metabarcoding primers, enabling non‐invasive monitoring of Neotropical raptors via environmental DNA.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pink dentex Dentex gibbosus (Perciformes: Sparidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The Pink dentex (Dentex gibbosus, Rafinesque 1810) is one of the most commercially important Sparidae species and it is often subjected to fraud. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of D. gibbosus.

Microsatellite discovery in an insular amphibian (Grandisonia alternans) with comments on cross-species utility and the accuracy of locus identification from unassembled Illumina data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Seychelles archipelago is unique among isolated oceanic islands because it features an endemic radiation of caecilian amphibians (Gymnophiona). In order to develop population genetics resources for this system, we identified microsatellite loci using

Mining for Mitochondria: 68 Mitogenomes for Wrasses and Parrotfishes (F: Labridae) From Off‐Target UCE Data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
By leveraging off‐target reads from a target‐capture UCE dataset, we assembled and annotated complete mitogenomes for 68 species of wrasses and parrotfishes (Family: Labridae), 54 of which are novel to the NCBI. This increases the taxonomic coverage of reference labrid mitogenomes from less than 5% and 12% to almost 13% and 20% of the family on NCBI's ...

Mitochondrial genome sequencing and analysis of scuticociliates (Uronema marinum) isolated from Takifugu rubripes

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Scuticociliates are dangerous parasitic pathogens for in worldwide mariculture. Scuticociliates cause high mortality to marine fish. After an outbreak of scuticociliatosis in Takifugu rubripes in Liaoning Province, northern China, Uronema marinum, a ...

Conserved Gene Order and Adaptive Evolution in Mitochondrial Genomes of Calappa Crabs: Insights Into Ecological Specialization and Phylogenetic Utility

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of five Calappa species, filling a critical gap in genomic resources for the family Calappidae. Our analyses confirm the monophyly of Calappidae, detect positive selection in key energy metabolism genes (ATP6, ND2, ND5), and reveal conserved gene arrangement patterns.
