“…Mitochondrial genomes are effective tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and genetic evolution of eukaryotes because they contain many available molecular markers (Burger et al, 2003;Bullerwell and Lang, 2005;Cheng et al, 2021). Besides, the arrangement of mitochondrial genes, their transfer RNA (tRNA) structure, their codon usage, and the dynamic changes of introns can also be used to infer the evolutionary status of eukaryotes (Li et al, 2018a;Wang et al, 2018Wang et al, , 2020bWu et al, 2021). With the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technologies in recent years, more and more mitochondrial genomes have been obtained (du Toit et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2020c).…”
