The mitochondrial (mt) genome is, to date, the most extensively studied genomic system in
insects, outnumbering nuclear genomes tenfold and representing all orders versus very few …

DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences are commonly used for inferring phylogenetic
relationships. However, the strand-specific bias in the nucleotide composition of the mtDNA …

As an accompanying manuscript to the release of the honey bee genome, we report the
entire sequence of the nuclear (18S, 5.8 S, 28S and 5S) and mitochondrial (12S and 16S) …

Mitochondrial (mt) genome data have been proven to be informative for animal phylogenetic
studies but may also suffer from systematic errors, due to the effects of accelerated …

Mitochondrial genomes provide a promising new tool for understanding deep‐level insect
phylogenetics, but have yet to be evaluated for their ability to resolve intraordinal …

Comparing complete animal mitochondrial genome sequences is becoming increasingly
common for phylogenetic reconstruction and as a model for genome evolution. Not only are …

Background Knowledge of animal mitochondrial genomes is very important to understand
their molecular evolution as well as for phylogenetic and population genetic studies. The …

Abstract Background The morphotaxonomy of Rhipicephalus microplus complex has been
challenged in the last few years and prompted many biologists to adopt a DNA-based …

Background Nucleotide sequences and the gene arrangements of mitochondrial genomes
are effective tools for resolving phylogenetic problems. Hemipteroid insects are known to …
