Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence ofAsiadodis yunnanensis (Mantidae: Choeradodinae) and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the praying mantises Asiadodis yunnanensis was characterized in this study. The circular molecule is 15,416 bp in length (GenBank accession no. MN037794), containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (39.5% A, 15.1% C, 9.6% G, 35.8% T), with an overall A þ T content of 75.3%. The gene arrangement of A. yunnanensis is identical to that observed in other praying mantises. Seven PCGs are initiated with typical ATN start codons, Four genes (cox1, nad3, nad4L, and nad6) begin with TTN, nad1 begin with GTT, and nad5 use CTT, as initiation codon. Twelve PCGs stop with complete termination codon TAA and TAG, whereas nad5 uses incomplete termination codon (T--). Twenty reading frame overlaps and seven intergenic regions are found in the mitogenome of A. yunnanensis. The phylogenetic relationships based on 13 PCGs show that A. yunnanensis clusters closest to the species of Mantidae. ARTICLE HISTORY

The complete mitochondrial genome of praying mantises Phyllothelys breve (Mantodea: Mantidae) and phylogenetic analysis

“…The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum-likelihood method through IQtree 1.6.8 (Nguyen et al 2015). Results showed that the family Mantidae is not monophyletic and P. breve clustered into a clade with congeneric species (Figure 1), which was consistent with the previous studies (Legendre et al 2015;Le-Ping et al 2018;Shi et al 2019). As a conclusion, we obtained and described the complete mitochondrial genome of P. breve, which constitute a valuable and useful resource for population genetic study and identification efforts on this species.…”

Mitochondrial genomes of 10 Mantidae species and their phylogenetic implications

“…not being a Hierodulinae. The systematic status of Mesopteryx and phylogenetic relationships among subgroups within the Hierodulinae are still unresolved (Guan et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2018aZhang et al, , 2018bZhang et al, , 2019 and it needs to be re-evaluated by a combination of morphological characteristics and molecular data.…”

Mitochondrial Phylogenomics Suggests Complex Evolutionary Pattern of Pronotal Foliaceous Mimicry in Hierodulinae (Mantodea: Mantidae), with Description of a New Species of Rhombodera Burmeister, 1838 from China

“…As of 28 June 2022, about 27 complete or nearly complete mitogenomes of Hierodulinae species have been sequenced since the first mitogenome of Mantodea, Tamolanica tamolana Brancsik, 1897 was obtained [ 15 ]. Mitochondrial phylogenomic studies of Mantodea in the past five years [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] have shown generally congruent relationships compared to the current classification in derived Heteromantodea.…”
