Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The molecular phylogeny of Scirtinae based on ultraconserved elements is reanalyzed using the site‐heterogeneous model CAT‐GTR+G4. A new scirtine fossil, Serracyphon philipsi gen. et sp. nov., is reported from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, and its placement is evaluated in light of the updated phylogenomic framework of Scirtinae.

Thematic Layers of Genomic Susceptibility for Conservation Monitoring

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population genomics has great potential to inform applied conservation management and associated policy. However, the bioinformatic analyses and interpretation of population genomic datasets can be daunting and difficult to convey to nonspecialists, including on‐the‐ground conservationists that work with many state, federal and international ...

No Mate, No Problem: Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Parthenogenesis in the Cosmopolitan Earthworm Aporrectodea trapezoides (Annelida, Clitellata)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Approximately, 40% of earthworm species can reproduce by parthenogenesis. This is the case for the cosmopolitan species, Aporrectodea trapezoides, although sexual forms have been described sporadically. We analyse the genotypes and microbiomes of 30 individuals from four localities where both forms appear in order to understand the ...

Whole‐genome data shed light on speciation and within‐species differentiation of the Papilio machaon complex around the Mediterranean Basin

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Genomic data refine the species boundary of Papilio machaon and confirm the species status of Papilio saharae, with clarification of subspecies delineation of Mediterranean machaon and saharae. A heterogeneous level of genome‐wide heterozygosity between island and continental lineages warrants further taxonomic implications, and there is also evidence ...

Molecular differentiation of the Murraya paniculata Complex (Rutaceae: Aurantioideae: Aurantieae)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Orange jasmine has a complex nomenclatural history and is now known as Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack. Our interest in this common ornamental stemmed from the need to resolve its identity and the identities of closely related taxa as hosts of ...

Phylogenetic Relationships Within Arctornis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) Based on COI Gene Sequences

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2015
Genus Arctornis is one of Tussock moths which are most diverse in tropics, particularly in Sundaland. Several species associate with cultivated plants and have potential to become pests. The systematic of this genus is still in dispute, especially on the

Evolutionary systematics of the Staphylininae rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) resolved by integration of phylogenomics, comparative morphology and historical biogeography

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.
Higher classification of the rove beetle subfamily Staphylininae is revised based on novel phylogenomic, morphological and biogeographic evidence. Four new subtribes are described for Staphylininae; of them, two are for the tribe Tanygnathinini and two are for the tribe Staphylinini, and both tribes changed in composition due to other novelties ...

EST based phylogenomics of Syndermata questions monophyly of Eurotatoria

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background The metazoan taxon Syndermata comprising Rotifera (in the classical sense of Monogononta+Bdelloidea+Seisonidea) and Acanthocephala has raised several hypotheses connected to the phylogeny of these animal groups and the included subtaxa.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Stalk-Eyed Bug Chauliops fallax Scott, and the Monophyly of Malcidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chauliops fallax Scott, 1874 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Malcidae: Chauliopinae) is one of the most destructive insect pests of soybean and rice fields in Asia. Here we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of this pest. This genome is 15,739 bp long,
