Abstract 'Mitochondrial metagenomics'(MMG) is a methodology for shotgun sequencing of
total DNA from specimen mixtures and subsequent bioinformatic extraction of mitochondrial …

Here we present a phylogeny of beetles (I nsecta: C oleoptera) based on DNA sequence
data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea
are important components of forest ecosystems and play a key role in nutrient cycling and …

Complete mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be reliable markers for phylogeny
reconstruction among diverse animal groups. However, the relative difficulty and high cost …

Neuroptera (lacewings) and allied orders Megaloptera (dobsonflies, alderflies) and
Raphidioptera (snakeflies) are predatory insects and together make up the clade …

Mitochondrial genome sequences are important markers for phylogenetics but taxon
sampling remains sporadic because of the great effort and cost required to acquire full …

We present entire sequences of two hymenopteran mitochondrial genomes and the major
portion of three others. We combined these data with nine previously sequenced …

The high‐level classification of Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) currently recognizes 12 or 13
well‐established subfamilies, but the phylogenetic relationships among them remain …
