The Diptera, or true flies (mosquitoes, gnats, and house flies) comprise 12-15% of animal
species, and are the most ecologically diverse order of insects, spanning ecological roles …

Abstract Culicoides Latreille biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) cause a significant
biting nuisance to humans, livestock and equines, and are the biological vectors of a range …

Recently, the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences in taxonomy and phylogenetic
inference has become contentious, and two extreme viewpoints have emerged, although, as …

We analyzed 12 combined mitochondrial and nuclear gene datasets in seven orders of
insects using both equal weights parsimony (to evaluate phylogenetic utility) and Bayesian …

This study analyzed 76 species of Carnivora using a concatenated sequence of 6243 bp
from six genes (nuclear TR-iI, TBG, and IRBP; mitochondrial ND2, CYTB, and 12S rRNA) …

The phylum Nematoda (roundworms) is considered by many to be one of the most abundant
and potentially speciose invertebrate groups in the world (Blaxter et al., 1998; Giblin-Davis …

In this study, we used an empirical example based on 100 mitochondrial genomes from
higher teleost fishes to compare the accuracy of parsimony-based jackknife values with …

A phylogeny of the genus Gammarus Fabricius, 1775 was constructed using DNA sequence
data from the mitochondrial genes COI and 16S, and the nuclear genes 18S and 28S. Both …

Choanoflagellates are single-celled aquatic flagellates with a unique morphology consisting
of a cell with a single flagellum surrounded by a “collar” of microvilli. They have long …

We present a phylogeny of the Asian pitvipers, based on 2403bp of four mitochondrial gene
regions. All but six known species of Trimeresurus sensu stricto (ss) as currently defined, as …
