Background Mitogenomic phylogenies have revealed well-supported relationships for many
eukaryote groups. In the order Lepidoptera, 113 species mitogenomes had been sequenced …

The backbone phylogeny of Lepidoptera remains unresolved, despite strenuous recent
morphological and molecular efforts. Molecular studies have focused on nuclear protein …

A large number of diverse mitogenomic sequences can be obtained more easily and
affordably via mitochondrial metagenomics, which generates high-throughput sequences …

The phylogenetic relationships of the nymphalid butterfly tribe Limenitidini are best known
for the genera Limenitis and Adelpha, model taxa for evolutionary processes such as …

Highlights•Despite being an ecologically diverse and speciose insect order, genomes are
available for< 10 of the 43 Lepidoptera superfamilies.•Genome-scale data are advancing …

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

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 …

Abstract Comparison of complete genomes of closely related species enables research on
speciation and how phenotype is determined by genotype. Lepidoptera, an insect order of …

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) can help us understand the phylogenetic
relationships within the genus Lethe and the subfamily Satyrinae. In this study, we …

Increasing the number of characters used in phylogenetic studies is the next crucial step
towards generating robust and stable phylogenetic hypotheses—ie, strongly supported and …
