“…The A + T content of the rRNA genes ranged from 75.20% ( C. diminutus ) to 77.33% ( M. sinae ) (Table 3 ). Compared with those in other sequenced buprestid mitogenomes, the rRNA genes in these five newly sequenced buprestid mitogenomes are highly conserved ( Hong et al 2009 ; Duan et al 2017 ; Cao and Wang 2019a , 2019b ; Xiao et al 2019 ; Sun et al 2020 ; Chen et al 2021 ; Peng et al 2021 ). These rRNAs were located between the CR and trnL1 , and separated by trnV .…”

Five complete mitochondrial genomes of five species from the subfamily Agrilinae were sequenced and annotated, including Coraebus diminutus Gebhardt, 1928 (15,499 bp), Coraebus cloueti Théry, 1893 (15,514 bp), Meliboeus sinae Obenberger, 1935 (16,108 bp), Agrilus sichuanus Jendek, 2011 (16,521 bp), and Sambus femoralis Kerremans, 1892 (15,367 bp). These mitogenomes ranged from 15,367 to 16,521 bp in length and encoded 37 typical mitochondrial genes: 13 protein-coding genes (13 PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (2 rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (22 tRNAs), and a control region (CR). Most of PCGs had typical ATN start codons and terminated with TAR or an incomplete stop codon T–. Among these five mitogenomes, Leu2, Ile, Phe, Ser2, Gly, Met, and Val were the seven most frequently encoded amino acids. Interestingly, in A. sichuanus, a 774 bp insertion was present at trnW and trnC junction, which is unusual in Buprestidae. Additionally, phylogenetic analyses were performed based on three kinds of nucleotide matrixes (13 PCGs, 2 rRNAs, and 13 PCGs + 2 rRNAs) using Bayesian inference and maximum-likelihood methods. The results showed that the clade of Buprestidae was well separated from outgroups and all Agrilinae species formed to a single highly supported clade. The tribe Coraebini was polyphyletic, as the genus Meliboeus (Coraebini) clustered with the genus Trachys (Tracheini). The rRNA genes had important impact for the tree topology of Agrilinae. Compared to the tribes Tracheini and Agrilini, the tribe Coraebini is a younger group.

“…Three mitochondrial protein-coding genes ( COI , COII , and CytB ) were utilized as molecular markers in the present study. Based on the published mitochondrial genome sequence of A. mali ( Sun et al, 2020 ), we designed specific primers for the amplification of complete COI , COII , and CytB sequences using the software Primer Premier version 5 ( Lalitha, 2000 ). Details of the primer sequences and product sizes are provided in Supplementary Table S1 .…”

Agrilus mali Matsumura is a wood-boring beetle that aggressively attacks species of the genus Malus, that has recently caused serious damage to the wild apple tree M. sieversii (Lebed.) in the western Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. It was first detected there in the early 1990s and spread rapidly, being thus considered a regional invasive pest. To explore the possible outbreak mechanism of the local population and characterize the genetic differentiation of A. mali across different regions of China, we used three mitochondrial genes (COI, COII, and CytB) to investigate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of 17 A. mali populations containing 205 individuals collected from five Chinese provinces. Among them, nine populations were from the western Tianshan Mountains. Ultimately, of the 136 pairwise Fst comparisons, 99 showed high genetic differentiation among overall populations, and Tianshan populations exhibited significant differentiation with most of the non-Tianshan populations. Furthermore, A. mali populations represented relatively abundant haplotypes (54 haplotypes). Nine populations from the Tianshan Mountains showed 32 haplotypes (26 of which were unique), displaying relatively high genetic diversity. Additionally, the Mantel test revealed population genetic differentiation among either overall populations or the Tianshan Mountains populations, likely caused by geographical isolation. Phylogenic relationships showed that all populations clustered into three clades, and Tianshan Mountains populations, including CY, occupied one of the three clades. These results suggest that A. mali in the western Tianshan region has possibly been present in the area for a long period, and may not have been introduced recently. Highly frequent gene flows within Tianshan populations are possibly caused by human activities and may enhance the adaptability of A. mali along the western Tianshan Mountains, leading to periodic outbreaks. These findings enhance our understanding of jewel beetle population genetics and provide valuable information for pest management.

“…Different morphologies are associated with diverse functional aspects of niches [49,50] and both the evolution and development of taxa, and these also account for the variable morphological characteristics of jewel beetles [51][52][53][54][55]. In this study, complex and irregular relationships were found among different groups in the subfamily categories along with their diverse habits and quite different coevolutionary modes.…”

Correlation between the category richness (CR) and morphological diversity (MD) of some communities at a local scale was found pendent, however, examination of a whole category using a large dataset are lacking. In this study, 1119 jewel species from around the world representing all existing subfamilies and 33.78% of Buprestidae genera were selected as a test group. A geometric morphometric analysis on the contour of homologous traits: pronotum and elytra was conducted to quantify morphological diversity. Correlations between MD and CR among subfamilies were found to be consistently positive with the exceptions of a pronotum genus-level test on the subfamily category. The correlation was also found to be higher at the genus-level than it on the species-level, in both pronotum and elytron measurements. Based on our analyses the hypothesis of positive correlations was expected in the genus-level test of jewel beetles but rejected in species-level test. The inconsistent correlation between morphological diversity and species richness revealed convergent morphological variation of pronotum under the similar functional diversity in Buprestidae. In addition, our test revealed variable correlation between MD and CR based on different groups and characters, which might be caused by morphological changes under coevolution with different ecological factors.
