Xu, H., Liu, X., Wang, P., Li, H., & Wu, S.A. 2023 Phylogenetic Implications of Mitogenomic Sequences and Gene Rearrangements of Scale Insects (Hemiptera, Coccoidea). Insects doi.org/10.3390/ insects14030257

Keywords:

  • phylogeny
  • Notes: In this study, we sequenced mitogenomes of six species belonging to five coccoid families. The novel gene rearrangement ND6-trnP and trnI-ND2-trnY supported the monophyly of Coccoidea and the sister relationship of Aclerdidae and Coccidae. This implies that data from the mitogenome can provide new insight for clarifying the deeper level of phylogenetic relationship within Coccoidea
