TL;DR: Molecular phylogenetic analysis of conserved regions from the arthropod mitochondrial proteome yields highly resolved and congruent trees and proposes a model to explain the apparently parallel evolution of similar head morphologies in insects and myriapods.

TL;DR: General properties and phylogenetic utilities of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that have been most commonly used for phylogenetic researches are illustrated to provide theoretical information in choosing one or more molecular markers or gene regions.

TL;DR: Halteria groups within the stichotrich clade, supporting the argument that the oligotrichs are not monophyletic as currently conceived, and Phacodinium branches after Euplotes at a deep level, confirming the conclusion that others have reached that this genus is related to the hypotrich and stichOTrich spirotrichs.

TL;DR: Collective data demonstrate that T. asiatica is sympatrically distributed with the other 2 species of Taenia in the human host in mainland China.

TL;DR: A new PCR primer set which enables one-step amplification of complete arthropod mitochondrial genomes was designed from two conserved 16S rDNA regions for the long PCR technique, and can serve various research fields, such as molecular evolution, population genetics, and molecular phylogenetics based on DNA sequences, RFLP, and gene rearrangement of mitochondrial genomes in arthropods and other invertebrates.
