Interpretations and analytical practices surrounding DNA barcoding are examined using a
compilation of 3,756 papers (as of December 31, 2018) with “DNA Barcode” in the abstract …

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 …

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 …

The entire mitochondrial genome of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera:
Spinghidae) was sequenced—a circular molecular 15516 bp in size. The arrangement of …

After decades of debate, a mostly satisfactory resolution of relationships among the 11
recognized holometabolan orders of insects has been reached based on nuclear genes …

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 …

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

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 phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial genomes (mtgenomes) is examined using the
framework of a preliminary phylogeny of Orthoptera. This study presents five newly …
