Summary: This study reports nearly 100 mitochondrial genomes of ichneumonid wasps and investigates their comparative mitogenomics and phylogenetic implications. The results show that the mitochondrial genomes of ichneumonid wasps have a conserved base composition and slow evolutionary rates, but exhibit diverse gene arrangements. The study also identifies novel rearrangement types and discusses the relationships among subfamilies of Ichneumonidae based on the mitochondrial genomes.

Summary: In this study, nine mitochondrial genomes of Geometridae were sequenced and annotated, and the mitogenomic evolution and phylogeny of the superfamily were analyzed. It was found that gene organization was conserved, except for Somatina indicataria, which showed rearranged tRNA positions. Nucleotide composition analysis showed higher diversity in nad6 and atp8 genes in Geometridae. Overall, this study provides important mitochondrial genomic data for systematic and evolutionary research in Geometridae.

Summary: This study sequenced, assembled, and compared the complete mitogenome of Turbinellus floccosus with other basidiomycete mitogenomes, revealing unique gene arrangement and a correlation between intron number and mitochondrial genome size in Basidiomycota. The results also showed intron position preferences and evolution in Basidiomycota, as well as the effectiveness of mitochondrial genes as molecular markers for phylogeny of basidiomycetes. It contributed to understanding the intron origin and evolution in Basidiomycota, particularly in the family Gomphaceae.

Summary: This study determined the complete mitogenome of Pachycondyla annamita and identified two gene rearrangements. The secondary structures of tRNAs were predicted. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial protein-coding genes resulted in conflicting hypotheses, but a congruent tree topology was obtained using a site-heterogeneous mixture model. This study provides important information for understanding the phylogenetic relationships of ants.

Summary: In this study, the mitogenomes of two Ramaria species were assembled and analyzed. The results showed that the intron region contributed the most to the size variations of Ramaria mitogenomes. There were significant differences in genetic contents, gene length, tRNAs, and codon usages between the two species. Large-scale gene rearrangements and gene transfer events were observed in Phallomycetidae mitogenomes. A novel intron was found in R. rubella mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolutionary relationship of Basidiomycota and identified R. cfr. rubripermanens and Turbinellus floccosus as sister species. This study is the first report on mitogenomes from the genus Ramaria and provides important insights into the evolution, genetics, and taxonomy of this fungal group.

Summary: Parapanteles hypsidrae and Protapanteles immunis are important parasitic wasps of Ectropis grisescens and Ectropis obliqua. We sequenced and annotated their mitochondrial genomes, which are 17,063 bp and 16,397 bp in length, respectively, and contain 37 mitochondrial genes. We identified two novel types of gene rearrangement within the mitogenomes of Braconidae.

Summary: This study obtained new mitogenomes for 66 species of Trichoptera through high-throughput sequencing, documenting the mitogenomes of 19 families and 47 genera for the first time. A total of 14 novel gene rearrangement patterns in Trichoptera were discovered, including rearrangements of protein-coding genes, tRNAs, and control regions. Evidence for tandem duplication and non-random loss events in the mitogenomes of three families was also provided. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the relationship between Hydroptilidae and Annulipalpia. The increased nucleotide substitution rate and adaptive evolution may have influenced the mitochondrial gene rearrangements in Trichoptera. This study offers new insights into the mechanisms and patterns of mitogenome rearrangements in insects, as well as the usefulness of mitogenomic gene order as a phylogenetic marker within Trichoptera.
