Summary: This study used genomic methods to analyze the centipedes Scolopendra morsitans and Scolopendra hainanum, and found significant differences in their mitochondrial genomes and tRNA rearrangements. Phylogenetic analyses based on protein-coding genes supported a sister relationship between the orders Lithobiomorpha and Geophilomorpha, as well as a close relationship between S. dehaani and S. hainanum.

Summary: In this study, we generated a high-quality mitochondrial genome assembly for Oryza granulata using a hybrid approach integrating Illumina and PacBio sequencing data. The analysis revealed the unique characteristics and structural variation of the O. granulata genome. The phylogenetic analysis showed the close genetic relationship of O. granulata with other Oryza species, providing insights for conservation and utilization of wild rice biodiversity.

Summary: This study presents the complete mitochondrial genomes of three Poneroid ants and reveals novel gene rearrangements. It also reports the duplication of tRNA genes for the first time in Formicidae. Phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of the Poneroid clade and the sister group relationship between the subfamilies Paraponerinae and Amblyoponinae.

Summary: The complete mitochondrial genomes of three Garra species were studied, along with the mechanisms of rearrangements that occur in their genomes. It was found that these species had rearranged mitochondrial genomes compared to other fish, possibly through a process of replication and loss. These findings provide a foundation for future phylogenetic studies.

Summary: "Contrary to expectations, this study found that mt-genome fragmentation is not correlated with the increase in mt-genome rearrangements in a genus of booklice, Liposcelis. The researchers proposed that fragmentation of the mt-genome may be a consequence of recombination errors between mt-genome copies, which is linked to a heightened mutation rate in clades exhibiting mt-fragmentation. Furthermore, the study showed that species with fragmented mt-genomes diverge more rapidly, despite experiencing strong purifying selection."
