MITOS: Improved de novo metazoan mitochondrial genome annotation
Matthias Bernt,Alexander Donath,Frank Jühling,Frank Jühling,Fabian Externbrink,Catherine Florentz,Guido Fritzsch,Joern Pütz,Martin Middendorf,Peter F. Stadler +9 more
TL;DR: The MITOS pipeline is designed to compute a consistent de novo annotation of the mitogenomic sequences and it is shown that the results of MITOS match RefSeq and MitoZoa in terms of annotation coverage and quality.

TL;DR: The phylogeny of all major insect lineages reveals how and when insects diversified and provides a comprehensive reliable scaffold for future comparative analyses of evolutionary innovations among insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results reveal that the extant sawfly diversity is largely the result of a previously unrecognized major radiation of phytophagous Hymenoptera that did not lead to wood-dwelling and parasitoidism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution and genomic basis of beetle diversity.
Duane D. McKenna,Seunggwan Shin,Dirk Ahrens,Michael Balke,Cristian F. Beza-Beza,Dave J. Clarke,Alexander Donath,Hermes E. Escalona,Hermes E.

Scully,Evgeny V. Yan,Evgeny V. Yan,Xin Zhou,Adam Ślipiński,Rolf G. Beutel +25 more
TL;DR: Beetles diversity appears to have resulted from multiple factors, including low extinction rates over a long evolutionary history, codiversification with angiosperms, and adaptive radiations of specialized herbivorous beetles following convergent horizontal transfers of microbial genes encoding PCWDEs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics Reveals the Evolutionary Timing and Pattern of Butterflies and Moths

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the most recent common ancestor of Lepidoptera is considerably older than previously hypothesized, and it is shown that multiple lineages of moths independently evolved hearing organs well before the origin of bats, rejecting the hypothesis that lepidopteran hearing organs arose in response to these predators.
