Aquatic environments are an unusual habitat for most arthropods. Nevertheless, many
arthropod species that were once terrestrial dwelling have transitioned back to marine and …

Spiders are among the most varied terrestrial predators, with highly diverse morphology,
ecology, and behavior. Morphological and molecular data have greatly contributed to …

Simple Summary Animals living in different environments must overcome different
environmental pressures. Previous studies have explored this phenomenon for other …

The superorder Cetartiodactyla has expanded to occupy a wide range of terrestrial and
marine niches with very different energy requirements. As mitochondria are the primary site …

The water-to-land transition is one of the most important events in evolutionary history of
vertebrates. However, the genetic basis underlying many of the adaptations during this …

Seagrasses are ideal for studying plant adaptation to marine environments. In this study, the
mitochondrial (mt) and chloroplast (cp) genomes of Ruppia sinensis were sequenced. The …

Background Seagrasses are higher marine flowering plants that evolved from terrestrial
plants, but returned to the sea during the early evolution of monocotyledons through several …

Simple Summary Mitochondria, the energy metabolism center, provide most of the energy
required for life processes through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Mitochondrial …

Harsh environments (eg, hypoxia and cold temperatures) of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
have a substantial influence on adaptive evolution in various species. Some species in …

Mitochondrial tRNAs have acquired a diverse portfolio of aberrant structures throughout
metazoan evolution. With the availability of more than 12,500 mitogenome sequences, it is …
