The complete mitochondrial genome of Arctic Calanus hyperboreus (Copepoda, Calanoida) reveals characteristic patterns in calanoid mitochondrial genome

Mitochondrial genome of the intertidal acorn barnacle Tetraclita serrata Darwin, 1854 (Crustacea: Sessilia): Gene order comparison and phylogenetic consideration within Sessilia

“…Along with newly obtained mitochondrial genome sequence of T. serrata, the currently available 14 mitochondrial genomes from Maxillopoda (Table S1) were used in phylogenetic analysis, including seven genomes from Sessilia (Megabalanus volcano, Megabalanus ajax, Notochthamalus scabrosus, Tetraclita japonica, Nobia grandis, Striatobalanus amaryllis and Amphibalanus amphitrite) (Shen et al, 2014aTsang et al, 2014bTsang et al, , 2014cWares, 2015), two from Pedunculata (Capitulum mitella and Pollicipes polymerus) (Lavrov et al, 2004), three from Copepoda (Calanus hyperboreus, Tigriopus californicus and Tigriopus japonicus) (Machida et al, 2002;Burton et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2013), and one each from Branchiura (Argulus americanus) and Pentastomida (Armillifer armillatus) (Lavrov et al, 2004).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of the copepodCalanus glacialis

“…The genus Calanus consists of 26 distinct marine copepod species (WoRMS Editorial Board, 2017), present in every ocean in the world as part of the zooplankton. Despite their ecological importance, only two mitochondrial genomes have been reported within the Calanus genus: C. sinicus (Minxiao et al 2011) and C. hyperboreus (Kim et al 2013). C. glacialis is one of the key species of the Arctic Ocean, as the crucial link between primary production and higher trophic levels such as fishes, invertebrates, marine mammals and birds (Falk-Petersen et al 1990).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Africa's largest freshwater copepod, Lovenula raynerae

“…Copepods are a diverse group of aquatic crustaceans found in both marine and freshwater environments (Boxshall and Defaye 2008;Kim et al 2013;Battuello et al 2017). Of the 10 copepod orders (Boxshall and Defaye 2008), Calanoida is particularly important, as it is both species-rich (2266 species have been described; Battuello et al 2017) and very abundant (they may constitute up to 95% of marine plankton samples; Mauchline 1998) and thus plays an important role in trophic interactions as a link between primary producers and secondary consumers (Dalu et al 2016;Battuello et al 2017;Wasserman et al 2018).…”

Despite their ecological importance and abundance, only one complete mitogenome has been published for the order Calanoida (Kim et al 2013).…”
