“…The monophyly of the Caelifera is widely accepted and is supported by morphological and molecular data (Xia 1994, Fenn et al 2008, Eades and Otte 2010, Sheffield et al 2010, Zhao et al 2010. In the present study, five superfamilies of Caelifera lineages were included, and they clustered as a monophyletic clade.…”

Background: The phylogeny of the Orthoptera was analyzed based on 6 datasets from 47 orthopteran mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes). The phylogenetic signals in the mitogenomes were rigorously examined under analytical regimens of maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI), along with how gene types and different partitioning schemes influenced the phylogenetic reconstruction within the Orthoptera. The monophyly of the Orthoptera and its two suborders (Caelifera and Ensifera) was consistently recovered in the analyses based on most of the datasets we selected, regardless of the optimality criteria.

“…According to our previous studies, the mtgenomes of T. japonica (15,128 bp) and A. yunnanensis (15,104 bp) were circular molecules (GenBank accession numbers: JQ340002 and JQ272702) [ 19 , 20 ]. In this study, a total of 37 typical genes and a regulation region were found in the mtgenomes of T. japonica and A. yunnanensis , which exhibited similar gene order and orientation with other Orthopteran insects.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to reveal the mitochondrial genomes (mtgenomes) of Tetrix japonica and Alulatettix yunnanensis, and the phylogenetics of Orthoptera species.MethodsThe mtgenomes of A. yunnanensis and T. japonica were firstly sequenced and assembled through partial sequences amplification, and then the genome organization and gene arrangement were analyzed. Based on nucleotide/amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes and whole mtgenomes, phylogenetic trees were established on 37 Orthoptera species and 5 outgroups, respectively.ResultsExcept for a regulation region (A+T rich region), a total of 37 genes were found in mtgenomes of T. japonica and A. yunnanensis, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, which exhibited similar characters with other Orthoptera species. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 concatenated protein-coding nucleotide sequences were considered to be more suitable for phylogenetic reconstruction of Orthoptera species than amino acid sequences and mtgenomes. The phylogenetic relationships of Caelifera species were Acridoidea and Pamphagoidea > Pyrgomorphoidea > Pneumoroidea > Eumastacoidea > Tetrigoidea > Tridactyloidea. Besides, a sister-group relationship between Tettigonioidea and Rhaphidophoroidea was revealed in Ensifera.ConclusionConcatenated protein-coding nucleotide sequences of 13 genes were suitable for reconstruction of phylogenetic relationship in orthopteroid species. Tridactyloidea was a sister group of Tetrigoidea in Caelifera, and Rhaphidophoroidea was a sister group of Tettigonioidea in Ensifera.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40659-017-0132-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

300 million years of diversification: elucidating the patterns of orthopteran evolution based on comprehensive taxon and gene sampling

Orthoptera is the most diverse order among the polyneopteran groups and includes familiar insects, such as grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, and their kin. Due to a long history of conflicting classification schemes based on different interpretations of morphological characters, the phylogenetic relationships within Orthoptera are poorly understood and its higher classification has remained unstable. In this study, we establish a robust phylogeny of Orthoptera including 36 of 40 families representing all 15 currently recognized superfamilies and based on complete mitochondrial genomes and four nuclear loci, in order to test previous phylogenetic hypotheses and to provide a framework for a natural classification and a reference for studying the pattern of divergence and diversification. We find strong support for monophyletic suborders (Ensifera and Caelifera) as well as major superfamilies. Our results corroborate most of the higher‐level relationships previously proposed for Caelifera, but suggest some novel relationships for Ensifera. Using fossil calibrations, we provide divergence time estimates for major orthopteran lineages and show that the current diversity has been shaped by dynamic shifts of diversification rates at different geological times across different lineages. We also show that mitochondrial tRNA gene orders have been relatively stable throughout the evolutionary history of Orthoptera, but a major tRNA gene rearrangement occurred in the common ancestor of Tetrigoidea and Acridomorpha, thereby representing a robust molecular synapomorphy, which has persisted for 250 Myr.
