Synergistic effects of Pleistocene geological and climatic events on complex phylogeographic history of widespread sympatric species of Megaloptera in East Asia.

Unraveling the phylogeographic histories of species remains a key endeavor for comprehending the evolutionary processes contributing to the rich biodiversity and high endemism found in East Asia. In this study, we explored the phylogeographic patterns and demographic histories of three endemic fishfly and dobsonfly species ( , , and ) belonging to the holometabolan order Megaloptera. These species, which share a broad and largely overlapping distribution, were analyzed using comprehensive mitogenomic data.

The chromosome-level genome assembly of the giant dobsonfly Acanthacorydalis orientalis (McLachlan, 1899).

Acanthacorydalis orientalis (McLachlan, 1899) (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) is an important freshwater-benthic invertebrate species that serves as an indicator for water-quality biomonitoring and is valuable for conservation from East Asia. Here, a high-quality reference genome for A. orientalis was constructed using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and High throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) technology.

The first mitochondrial genome of spongillafly from Asia (Neuroptera: Sisyridae: Navás, 1933) and phylogenetic implications of Osmyloidea.

The spongillafly species Navás, 1933 (Neuroptera: Sisyridae) is an endemic species in China and is first recorded from Shanghai. The mitogenome of this species is sequenced, representing the first mitogenome of Sisyridae from Asia. The nearly complete mitogenome is 15,634 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a control region.

Analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of click beetle (GenBank accession no. MG728108) was obtained using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The complete mitochondrial genome of is 16,156 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and a control region.

Insight into higher-level phylogeny of Neuropterida: Evidence from secondary structures of mitochondrial rRNA genes and mitogenomic data.

It is well known that the rRNA structure information is important to assist phylogenetic analysis through identifying homologous positions to improve alignment accuracy. In addition, the secondary structure of some conserved motifs is highly stable among distantly related taxa, which can provide potentially informative characters for estimating phylogeny. In this paper, we applied the high-throughput pooled sequencing approach to the determination of neuropteran mitogenomes.

Analysis of the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).

The nearly complete mitochondrial genome of (GenBank accession no. MG581161) is 17,644 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a partial control region. The gene order is similar to the typical insect mitochondrial genome.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Hemiptera: Tingidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of has been sequenced and annotated. The entire mitogenome is a typical circle double-stranded DNA molecule of 15,635b p and consisted of 37 genes and a control region in the typical invertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. Phylogenetic analysis recovered the momophyly of Gerromorpha, Enicocephalomorpha and Cimicomorpha.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the longicorn beetle Obrium sp. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Obrium sp. was sequenced, which was the first representation from the longicorn beetle genus Obrium. The whole mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15 680 bp, and has similar gene content and gene order to previously reported beetle species.
