In this study we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the lined shore crab Pachygrapsus crassipes Randall, 1840 (Crustacea: Grapsidae). The full-length P. crassipes mitogenome is 15,652 bp in size, which encodes the same 37 genes as all metazoan mitogenomes. Both AT contents of the entire molecule as well as putative control region display lowest values among all mitogenomes of the brachyuran crabs determined to date. The mitochondrial gene order follows a classic crab-type arrangement that underwent a unique tRNA translocation from the pancrustacean ancestral pattern. Our results will provide important data for phylogenetic as well as biogeographic studies.

Heterothermic thermoregulation requires intricate regulation of metabolic rate and activation of pro-survival factors. Eliciting these responses and coordinating the necessary energy shifts likely involves retrograde signalling by mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs). Members of the group were suggested before to play a role in heterothermic physiology, a key component of hibernation and daily torpor.

Spiders are among the most varied terrestrial predators, with highly diverse morphology, ecology, and behavior. Morphological and molecular data have greatly contributed to advances in the phylogeny and evolutionary dynamics of spiders. Here, we performed comprehensive mitochondrial phylogenomics analysis on 78 mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) representing 29 families; of these, 23 species from eight families were newly generated.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the complete mitochondrial genome of the many-lined sun skink (Eutropis multifasciata), revealing its length as 17,062 bp through next-generation sequencing.
- It compares the mitogenomes of 46 other species to analyze mitogenomic diversity and intra-species evolutionary relationships, noting significant variations in control region lengths.
- Phylogenetic analysis shows three clades in Scincomorpha, challenging the previous classification into just two superfamilies (Scincoidea and Lacertoidea).

The estuarine firefly, Pteroptyx tener, aggregates in the thousands in mangrove trees lining tidal rivers in Southeast Asia where they engage one another in a nocturnal, pre-mating ritual of synchronised courtship flashes. Unfortunately, populations of the species by virtue of being restricted to isolated estuarine rivers systems in the region, are at risk of genetic isolation. Because of this concern we undertook the task of sequencing and characterising the mitochondrial DNA genome of P.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the highly venomous blue-lined octopus, (Hoyle, 1886), was analyzed by the primer walking method. Its mitogenome was 15,479 bp in total length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 23 transfer RNA genes. In the phylogenetic tree, the gene content and order were congruent with those of typical octopodiform species.
