The complete mitochondrial genome of the springtail (Fitch, 1863) is described and used for a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, which includes all known sequenced mitochondrial DNAs from the Collembola group.
The study confirms that the gene content, order, and nucleotide composition of this springtail's mitochondrial DNA align with typical features found in hexapods.
The phylogenetic analysis validates the monophyly of various Collembola subgroups, but the absence of mitochondrial DNA from Neelipleona limits further research into springtail classification.
Article Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the springtail (Fitch, 1863) is herein described and applied to a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, inclusive of all the Collembola mitochondrial DNAs sequenced so far. The gene content and order, as well as the nucleotide composition, conform with the well-known features of hexapods' mitochondrial genomes. The phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of Collembola, Poduromorpha, Entomobryomorpha and Symphypleona. However, no mtDNA from Neelipleona is available to date, therefore limiting the application of mitochondrial genomes to further investigate springtail systematics.
