Complete mitochondrial genome of (Brauer, 1865) assembled from next-generation sequencing data.

(Brauer, 1865) is a freshwater damselfly belonging to the family Coenagrionidae that is distributed across most of Korea, primarily in areas with low water flow, such as ponds and wetlands. The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced by next-generation sequencing. The circular mitochondrial genome was found to be 15,769 bp long, with of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes (GenBank accession no.

Effects of algal food quality on sexual reproduction of Daphnia magna.

The objective of our study was to investigate sexual reproduction of Daphnia magna associated with mating behaviors and hatching rates, according to different algal food sources. Since a diatom is known to contain more abundant long-chain poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), we hypothesized that the diatom-consuming D. magna would exhibit more successful reproduction rates.
