“…In this study, only two mitogenomes of Eumeninae are contained, which is insufficient to describe the relationship of Eumeninae. In addition, the phylogenetic relationship within the subfamily Polistinae is Polistes + ( Ropalidia + Parapolybia ), which is supported by previous studies on both morphological characteristics and molecular data [ 12 , 57 – 60 ].…”

Background Social wasps Polistes, Ropalidia, and Parapolybia, belonging to the subfamily Polistinae, have obviously different distribution patterns, yet the factors leading to this difference remain unknown. Results The 17 newly sequenced mitogenomes of Polistes, Ropalidia, and Parapolybia contain 37 genes, and there are obvious differences among the compositions of the three genera. The monophyly of the genus Polistes and a monophyletic Ropalidiini: (Ropalidia + Parapolybia) are concordant with previous morphological analysis of the subfamily Polistinae. Our inferred divergence time demonstrates Polistes (at around 69 Ma) was diverged earlier than Ropalidia and Parapolybia (at around 61 Ma). The rearrangement of both trnY and trnL1 are shared by all the Polistinae. In addition, the unique rearrangement of TDRL derived at 69 Ma is detected in Polistes, and Ropalidia contains a Reversal which may derive at 61 Ma. Hereafter, the possibility is elaborated that Polistes originated in Aisa and then dispersed from Africa to South America, and Polistes and Ropalidia spread from Southeast Asia to Australia. At last, continental drift and Quaternary Ice Ages are inferred to be two main limiting factors in the current distributions of the three genera. Conclusions Obvious differences occur in the mitochondrial composition of Polistes, Ropalidia, and Parapolybia. According to the reconstructed time-calibrated framework, it is inquired that the continental drifts and the climate are mainly diffusion limiting factors of the three genera.

“…The result (Fig. 4) indicates that the subfamily Polistinae evolved over a period of 75 Ma, which is consistent with an earlier report [62]. Meanwhile the genus Polistes diverged at around 69 Ma, Parapolybia + Ropalidia were separated from the subfamily Polistinae at around 61 Ma, and the origin of Parapolybia was later than Ropalidia.…”

Background Social wasps Polistes, Ropalidia, and Parapolybia, belonging to the subfamily Polistinae, have obviously different distribution patterns, yet the factors leading to this difference remain unknown. Results In this study, mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of 21 species of these three wasp genera were used to phylogenetic analyses, including 17 newly sequenced ones. It is revealed that both evolutionary selection pressure of protein-coding genes (PCGs) and gene rearrangement events are related to the corresponding distribution patterns. In addition, our fossil-calibrated divergence time estimation suggests the diversification of Polistes was in the Late Cretaceous (~ 69 million years ago, Ma), and that of Ropalidia and Parapolybia occurred in the Tertiary (~ 61 Ma). In view of the divergence time and the history of continental drifts, we speculate that Polistes may spread from Africa to South America via the Atlantic Ocean rather than from Asia to South America. On the other hand, combining divergence time and climate changes of both past and the present-day, it is inferred that Quaternary Ice Ages and temperature could be limitation factors in their present distribution patterns. Conclusions There are obvious differences in the mitochondrial composition of Polistes, Ropalidia, and Parapolybia with different distribution ranges. According to the reconstructed time-calibrated framework, we found that the climate and the continental drifts are diffusion limiting factors of the three genera.

“…All the PCGs of these species, similar to the other Arvicolinae mitogenomes, had an incomplete stop codon that was automatically filled during the transcription process in the mitogenomes of animals, with no effect on translation (Ojala, Montoya & Attardi, 1981). Similar to previous studies, the nucleotide diversity of all the PCGs in both Lasiopodomys and Arvicolinae typically showed the highest divergence in the NADH dehydrogenase complex and the lowest divergence in the cytochrome c oxidase subunit complex and cytochrome B gene (Huang et al, 2019;Ramos et al, 2018). The nucleotide sequence diversity of the NADH dehydrogenase gene groups may be affected by variations in the historical environment (Ramos et al, 2018;Mueller, 2006).…”

The species of Lasiopodomys Lataste 1887 with their related genera remains undetermined owing to inconsistent morphological characteristics and molecular phylogeny. To investigate the phylogenetic relationship and speciation among species of the genus Lasiopodomys, we sequenced and annotated the whole mitochondrial genomes of three individual species, namely Lasiopodomys brandtii Radde 1861, L. mandarinus Milne-Edwards 1871, and Neodon (Lasiopodomys) fuscus Büchner 1889. The nucleotide sequences of the circular mitogenomes were identical for each individual species of L. brandtii, L. mandarinus, and N. fuscus. Each species contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs, with mitochondrial genome lengths of 16,557 bp, 16,562 bp, and 16,324 bp, respectively. The mitogenomes and PCGs showed positive AT skew and negative GC skew. Mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses suggested that L. brandtii, L. mandarinus, and L. gregalis Pallas 1779 belong to the genus Lasiopodomys, whereas N. fuscus belongs to the genus Neodon grouped with N. irene. Lasiopodomys showed the closest relationship with Microtus fortis Büchner 1889 and M. kikuchii Kuroda 1920, which are considered as the paraphyletic species of genera Microtus. TMRCA and niche model analysis revealed that Lasiopodomys may have first appeared during the early Pleistocene epoch. Further, L. gregalis separated from others over 1.53 million years ago (Ma) and then diverged into L. brandtii and L. mandarinus 0.76 Ma. The relative contribution of climatic fluctuations to speciation and selection in this group requires further research.
