Olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)(Diptera: Tephritidae), is the major pest of commercial
olives worldwide. Various aspects of its biology, ecology, management, and impact on olive …

Tephritid flies attack a large variety of fruits, which constitute highly-priced commodities in
many countries. Insecticides have been used extensively for their control. Although …

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

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 …

Coleoptera is the most diverse group of insects with over 360,000 described species divided
into four suborders: Adephaga, Archostemata, Myxophaga, and Polyphaga. In this study, we …

The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the major pest of olives in most commercial olive‐growing
regions worldwide. The species is abundant in the Mediterranean basin and has been …

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

of their nucleotide sequences would be useful for the molecular characterization of this …

The complete 16,434-bp nucleotide sequence of the mitogenome of the bumble bee,
Bombus ignitus (Hymenoptera: Apidae), was determined. The genome contains the base …

Lepidoptera is one of the largest insect orders, but the phylogenetic relationships within this
order, have yet to be adequately described. Among these unresolved relationships include …
