Due to the intriguing morphology, lifecycle, and diversity of butterflies and moths,
Lepidoptera are emerging as model organisms for the study of genetics, evolution and …

Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are becoming model organisms for genetics and
evolutionary biology. Decoding the Lepidoptera genomes, both nuclear and mitochondrial …

Background Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have greatly improved our
understanding of the backbone phylogeny of Lepidoptera, but few studies on comparative …

Simple Summary The moth is a large group with high species richness in Lepidoptera, and
many species of them play important roles in human's life. However, there remains limited …

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is an important topic for comparative and
evolutionary genomics, as well as phylogenetic and population genetics. However, there are …

We assembled a complete mitogenome of an Asian skipper butterfly Burara striata
(Hesperiidae, Coeliadinae), the first representative of the genus Burara, from next …

Here we determined the mitochondrial genome sequence of a notorious pest, the
diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutoidea: Plutellidae). The …

We assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of a unique Australian skipper butterfly
Euschemon rafflesia (Hesperiidae) from next generation sequencing reads. The 15,447 bp …

We obtained a complete mitochondrial genome of a skipper butterfly Achalarus lyciades
(Hesperiidae, Eudaminae) from next generation sequencing reads. The 15,612 bp …

Butterflies of the genus Borbo are mainly distributed in the Oriental and Australian regions
and are considered pests of important crops. However, no mitochondrial genomes have …
