Abstract:European inland surface waters harbor an extensive diversity of native amphipod crustaceans with many species facing threats from invasive counterparts of Ponto-Caspian origin. Herein, we examine mitochondrial genomes to infer phylogenetic relationships and compare gene order and nucleotide composition between representative native European and invasive Ponto-Caspian taxa belonging to five families, ten genera, and 20 species (13 newly sequenced herein). We observe diverse gene rearrangement patterns in the ph… Show more
