▪ Abstract Insect molecular systematics has undergone remarkable recent growth. Advances
in methods of data generation and analysis have led to the accumulation of large amounts of …

as a molecular marker he widespread successful application of the polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) to questions in animal ecology and evolutionary biology can be attributed …

Introduction Invertebrate communities are central to many environmental monitoring
programs. In freshwater ecosystems, aquatic macroinvertebrates are collected, identified …

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 …

Insect mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) analysis is a powerful tool for the study of population
genetics and phylogenetics. In the past few years primer sequences for the PCR …

Phylogenetic relationships within the Aphidiinae, and between this and other subfamilies of
Braconidae (Hymenoptera), were investigated using sequence data from three genes …

We sequenced the nearly complete mtDNA of 3 species of parasitic wasps, Nasonia
vitripennis (2 strains), Nasonia giraulti, and Nasonia longicornis, including all 13 protein …

Only relatively recently have researchers turned to molecular methods for nematode
phylogeny reconstruction. Thus, we lack the extensive literature on evolutionary patterns …

Galls are highly specialized plant tissues whose development is induced by another
organism. The most complex and diverse galls are those induced on oak trees by gallwasps …

The sequence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the branchiopod crustacean Daphnia
pulex has been completed. It is 15333bp with an A+ T content of 62.3%, and contains the …
