The complete mitochondrial genome ofXystrocera globosa(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and its phylogeny

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Xystrocera globosa is 15,706 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and the A þ T-rich region. The overall base composition is 72.7% AT and 27.3% GC, and the AT content of the control region is 79.3%. In ML and BI phylogenetic trees, X. globosa was a sister clade to X. grayii. The monophyly of Lamiinae and Prioninae were supported in ML analyses, but nevertheless, the monophyly of Cerambycinae was not recovered.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of five longicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and phylogenetic relationships within Cerambycidae

“…In the last few years, studies of animal mitogenomes have grown rapidly in number and approximately 40,000 mitogenome sequences have now been published in the NCBI database (Tan et al, 2017). By contrast, a mere 18 sequenced mitogenomes of Cerambycidae have been reported, among them being eight mitogenomes belonging to the subfamily Lamiinae, four mitogenomes of the subfamily Cerambycinae, three mitogenomes of the subfamily Prioninae, and three mitogenomes of the subfamily Lepturinae (Kim et al, 2009; Chiu et al, 2016; Fang et al, 2016; Guo et al, 2016; Li et al, 2016a; Li et al, 2016b; Wang et al, 2016; Lim et al, 2017; Liu et al, 2017; Song et al, 2017; Liu et al, 2018; Que et al, 2019; Wang et al, 2019). These few mitogenomes seriously restrict the capacity for phylogenetic analyses and phylogeography of the Cerambycidae.…”

Peer Review #2 of "The complete mitochondrial genomes of five longicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and phylogenetic relationships within Cerambycidae (v0.1)"

“…In addition, BI and ML analyses recovered the monophyly of Prioninae including Callipogon relictus, Dorysthenes paradoxus and Aegosoma sinicum, as proposed by Wang et al (2019).…”

“…For the purpose of reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships of Cerambycidae, a nucleotide dataset (13P26) of the 13 protein-coding genes of 26 complete mitogenomes was used (Table 1) according to the methods of Zhang et al (2019), this included the 5 newly determined sequences and 18 published complete mitogenomes of Cerambycidae (Kim et al, 2009;Chiu et al, 2016;Fang et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2016;Li et al, 2016a;Li et al, 2016b;Wang et al, 2016;Lim et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2017;Song et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2018;Que et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019). Three species of Galerucinae, Paleosepharia posticata, Diabrotica barberi and Diabrotica virgifera served as the out-groups (Coates & Brad, 2014;Wang & Tang, 2017).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome ofAnnamanum lunulatum(Coleoptera: Lamiinae) and its phylogeny

“…In order to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of Lamiinae, we used 13 protein-coding genes of 24 species, which contained Galeruca daurica as the outgroup (Kim et al 2009;Lu et al 2011;Chiu et al 2016;Fang et al 2016;Guo et al 2016;Li et al 2016;Wang et al 2016;Lim et al 2017;Liu et al 2017;Yang et al 2017;Liu et al 2018;Que et al 2019;Wang, Lan, et al 2019). MrBayes version 3.2 and the RAxML version 8 programs (Ronquist et al 2012;Stamatakis 2014) were used to construct BI and ML trees, respectively (Figure 1).…”
