Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Obrium sp. was sequenced, which was the first representation from the longicorn beetle genus Obrium. The whole mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15 680 bp, and has similar gene content and gene order to previously reported beetle species. In the sampled subfamilies of Cerambycidae, both Lamiinae and Cerambycinae were recovered with high supports in phylogenetic analysis. And the newly sequenced Obrium sp. was the sister group to Massicus raddei in Lamiinae.

Abstract The sequence diversities in three mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) regions, namely portions of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (pnad1), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (pcox1), and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (pnad4), were investigated in all Ascaris suum samples isolated from four regions in northwestern China. Those genes were amplified by PCR method and the lengths of pnad1, pcox1, and pnad4 were 419 bp, 711 bp, and 723 bp, respectively. The intraspecific sequence variations within A. suum samples were 0–2.9% for pnad1, 0–2.1% for pcox1, and 0–3.1% for pnad4. Phylogenetic analysis combined with three sequences of mtDNA fragments showed that all A. suum samples were monophyletic groups, but samples from the same geographical origin did not always cluster together. The results suggested that the three mtDNA fragments could not be used as molecular markers to identify the A. suum isolates from four regions, and have important implications for studying molecular epidemiology and population genetics of A. suum.

Abstract The Eurasian water frog species and their geographic ranges have undergone considerable changes in the last four decades, but the Iranian populations have largely remained unknown. All the Iranian populations of water frogs, despite their vast distribution range have attributed to a single species: Rana ridibunda. In order to understand the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic status of water frogs of Iran, we collected samples from many populations across the country and used the mitochondrial DNA sequence variation. A data set with a final sequence length of 616 nucleotides was generated for Cyt b from 70 individuals of Pelophylax in which there are 422 invariable sites, 174 variable sites of which 123 were parsimony informative. In total, 43 haplotypes were found (Hd: 0.9752). The result demonstrated that, two major clades with strong support can be identified within the Iranian water frogs. One of these clades that include north western and southwestern populations forms a monophyletic group along with P. bedriagae samples from Turkey. The second clade consists of water frog populations of north and northeastern parts of Iran which in turn is subdivided into two subclades. Inclusion of water frog samples from adjacent areas showed that the second clade of our study is, most likely, a distinct taxonomic entity at species rank with its two subclades indicating two diagnosable subspecies for the clade. In conclusion, we suggest that two distinct species, P. bedriagae and Pelophylax sp., with its two subspecies, should be identified as water frogs of Iran. In Addition, another traditionally reported water frog of Iran, P.ridibundus, most likely should be excluded from the Iranian water frog’s checklist.

Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of Paracheirodon innesi was determined using the next-generation sequencing (NGS). The mitochondrial genome was 16 962 bp long and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene arrangement and composition of P. Innesi mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the complete mitogenomes of the species and closely related 13 teleost species to assess their phylogenetic relationship and evolution.

Abstract We report complete chloroplast genome of the Tibetan hulless barely using IIlumina Hiseq 2000 sequencing technology (IIlumina Inc., San Diego, CA). The chloroplast genome size is 136 462 bp in length that includes two inverted repeats (IRs) of 10 528 bp, which are separated by the large single copy (LSC 101 375 bp) and small single copy (SSC 14 030 bp). Hulless barely chloroplast genome encodes 76 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 29 tRNA genes. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree of the nine complete chloroplast genomes was selected from Poaceae family using Oryza sativa japonica as the out-group, supporting that hulless barely is closely related to the Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare.

Abstract Although Hepialus xiaojinensis is important as the host of Ophiocordyceps sinensis, it remains poorly known especially in genetic structure and phylogeny status. To get a better understanding of it, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of H. xiaojinensis was sequenced for the first time. The genome was 15 397 bp in size and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and an AT-rich region, and the gene composition and the arrangement of which were consistent with other insects of Hepialidae. The base composition of the genome was A (41.44%), T (39.68%), C (11.52%), and G (7.36%), with an AT content of 81.13%. Moreover, we have performed phylogenetic analysis of H. xiaojinensis and other 11 Lepidoptera species.

Abstract In our research, 16 sets of primers were used to amplify contiguous, overlapping segments of the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Odontobutis obscura. The aim of our research was to provide some important genetic background information for conservational practice of these valuable fish species. The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 16 864 bp and deposited in the GenBank with accession numbers KT438552. The gene arrangement and transcriptional direction were similar to other bony fishes which contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNAs) and a major non-coding control region. The nucleotide skewness for the coding strands of O. obscura (GC-skew = −0.26) is biased toward G and the negative GC-skew ranges from −0.51(ND2) to −0.24(CO1). The phylogenetic analysis showed that the Gobiiformes could be divided into three groups, Eleotridae, Odontobutidae and Rhyacichthyidae. The O. Obscura and O. Potamophila are sister species and clustered together.

Abstract The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Megachile sculpturalis (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) has been reported in this study. This is the first sequenced mitogenome from the family Megachilidae. The sequenced region of this mitochondrial genome is determined to be 16 581 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a partial sequence of the AT-rich region, and the AT-rich region contains several characteristic repeated sequences. Additionally, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis using all the mitochondrial genomes of Apoidea that are available in Genbank. Bayesian method supported the monophyly of both Apidae and Colletidae. And Megachilidae was inferred as the sister group of Apidae.

Abstract In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Upland Buzzard (Buteo hemilasius) was sequenced and reported for the first time using the muscle tissue. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 18 079 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 1 control region, and 1 extra pseudo-control region. A phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes (except ND6 gene) of 14 Falconiformes species’ mitochondrial genomes using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) demonstrated that all species cluster into two clades and B. hemilasius is close to B. buteo.

Abstract Six genera of the Arini tribe form morphologically diverse group termed as Macaws. The presence of bare facial area distinguishes them from other members of the tribe. Genera and species of Macaw group differ in pattern of this bare skin as well as in body size. The genus Ara contains eight extant species. Two of them are classified as medium-sized Macaws and other six species are classified as large Macaws. Based on morphological similarities and differences, large Macaw species can be segregated into three pairs according to their plumage coloration. So far, representative mitochondrial genomes were sequenced only for Ara glaucogularis (blue and yellow coloration), Ara macao (predominantly red/scarlet) and Ara militaris (predominantly green) species. Ara ararauna is the second of two Ara species with predominant blue and yellow plumage. Hitherto, close phylogenetic relation of these two species was shown using only ND2 genes or incomplete combined COI/Cytb/ND2 sequences. Therefore, Ara ararauna mitogenome, which was sequenced in this study, will be indispensable to refine the phylogenetic relationships within Macaws group.
