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

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]
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.

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)
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]
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

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 ...

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.
