Characterization of metapopulation of Ellobium chinense through Pleistocene expansions and four covariate COI guanine-hotspots linked to G-quadruplex conformation.

The land snail Ellobium chinense (L. Pfeiffer, 1855) (Eupulmonata, Ellobiida, Ellobiidae), which inhabits the salt marshes along the coastal areas of northwestern Pacific, is an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. Over recent decades, the population size of E.

Complete mitochondrial genome of (Charadriiformes: Alcidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the crested auklet, , was obtained using high-throughput whole genome sequencing. This is the first report indicating that the complete mitochondrial genome of has been sequenced. The circular genome is 16,848 bp in length.

A report of a new species and new record of (Nudibranchia, Cadlinidae) from South Korea.

Of the four species in the genus present in the northwestern Pacific region, has been the only species recorded from South Korea. For the purpose of investigating in Korean waters, specimens were collected from the Korean East Sea (Sea of Japan) by scuba diving. The radula and morphology of these specimens were examined by stereoscopic and scanning electron microscopy.

Life-history features and oceanography drive phylogeographic patterns of the chiton cf. (Lischke, 1873) in the northwestern Pacific.

Chitons are a group of marine mollusks (class Polyplacophora) characterized by having eight articulating shell plates on their dorsal body surface. They represent suitable materials for studying the spatiotemporal processes that underlie population differentiation and speciation in ocean environments. Here we performed population genetic analyses on the northwestern Pacific chiton cf.

The mitochondrial genome of (Cephalobomorpha) confirms non-monophyly of Tylenchina (Nematoda).

The infraorder Cephalobomorpha is a diverse and ecologically important nematode group found in almost all terrestrial environments. In a recent nematode classification system based on SSU rDNA, Cephalobomorpha was classified within the suborder Tylenchina with Panagrolaimomorpha, Tylenchomorpha and Drilonematomorpha. However, phylogenetic relationships among species within Tylenchina are not always consistent, and the phylogenetic position of Cephalobomorpha is still uncertain.

The mitochondrial genome of the goosander () determined using next-generation sequencing.

We report here the complete mitochondrial genome of , which was determined using Illumina next-generation sequencing. The complete mitogenome is 16,631 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The order and structure of the genes are similar to those of other Anatinae species.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Endangered species (Pulmonata, Ellobiidae) from Korea.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Ellobioidea, Ellobiidae), an Endangered species in South Korea, is reported here for the first time. The mitogenome of is 13,979 base pairs in total length and includes 13 PCGs, small and large rRNAs, and 21 tRNAs. Twelve genes are encoded on the light-strand and 24 genes on the heavy-strand.
