A large proportion of the insects which have invaded new regions and countries are emerging species, being found for first time outside their native range. Being able to detect such species upon arrival at ports entry before they establish in non-native is an urgent challenge. The deployment traps baited with broad-spectrum semiochemical lures ports-of-entry other high-risk sites could be one early detection tool. Rapid progress identification semiochemicals cerambycid beetles during last 15 years has revealed that aggregation-sex pheromones sex often conserved global levels genera, tribes or subfamilies Cerambycidae. This possibly allows development generic attractants attract multiple simultaneously, especially when combined into blends.

Mitochondrial gene rearrangements suggest a new genus Paduniellodes (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae)

Insect Systematics and Diversity, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(2)

Abstract The Paduniella andamanensis species group (“andamanensis” group) is notable for its morphological consistency and contains the only in family Psychomyiidae with markings recorded on wings, fasciaria Peng & Sun, 2024. To elucidate phylogenetic status of “andamanensis” placement Psychomyiidae, mitochondrial genomes 22 psychomyiid from 6 genera, plus 2 Xiphocentronidae, were sequenced analyzed. mitogenomes 4 genera are documented first time. Four novel gene rearrangement patterns Trichoptera, including protein-coding genes (PCGs) tRNAs, found. Surprisingly, addition to standard a tandem duplication trnT-trnP has occurred Lype sagittalis 2024, unique finding Trichoptera. Furthermore, between trnT trnP, multiple PCGs was detected group, inferred be caused by random loss events. Protein-coding rearrangements, found few taxa, provide insights into evolution these taxa. phylogeny strongly supported monophyly genetic distances other comparable that Psychomyiidae. Thus, new genus, Paduniellodes gen. nov. proposed which observed synapomorphy. In addition, structure superior appendages provides support genus status.

Comparative analysis of five mitochondrial genomes of the subfamily Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and evolution of control regions inferred from phylogeny

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: April 28, 2025

Introduction Mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is a widely utilized source of genetic data for animal species identification, molecular phylogeny, phylogeography, and evolutionary research at various taxonomic scales. With 14,500 recognized placed in over 1,100 genera, Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), also known as leaf beetles, the largest subfamily within Chrysomelidae. Methods We newly sequenced annotated five mitogenomes from Galerucinae. Additionally, we investigated their nucleotide composition, codon usage, relative synonymous usage rate protein-coding genes (PCGs). The phylogenetic relationship been inferred by gathering 97 GenBank our mitogenomes. divergence times were estimated using three calibration nodes MCMCTree. Furthermore, structural features control regions (CRs) framework Results discussion length ranged 15,737 to 16,484 bp. All these exhibited high AT content, well positive skew negative GC skew. Most PCGs have ATN start codons, TAA TAG most assigned stop codons. substitution analysis suggested that ATP8 experienced selection, while COX1 underwent purifying selection. Phylogenetic analyses showed both tribes Alticini Galerucini monophyletic sister groups. Within two tribes, groups subtribes monophyletic. Our time inference, dating origin Middle Cretaceous period (102.69 Ma), indicated main diverged occurred during Paleogene. Finally, revealed variations organization CRs even among closely related groups, which can be attributed specific elements.

Phylogenetic and biogeographic reconstruction of Lamiini sensu lato (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) reveals South Gondwanan origin and Panthalasso-Tethyan dispersal pathways

Biosystems Diversity, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 33(1), P. e2510 - e2510

Published: March 11, 2025

In this study I conduct the phylogenetic and biogeographical analysis of Lamiini sensu novo (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), confirming it as a monophyletic group that is broader than previously assumed supporting redefinition unified tribe – novo. The consist eight major clades (TAENI, DORCA, ACALO, BATOC, PSACO, ANOLPL, MONOC, LAMIA) integrates together several traditionally recognized tribes (Dorcaschematini, Batocerini, Petrognathini, Rhodopini, Monochamini, Dorcadionini, Phrissomini). Most them, including Phrissomini are polyphyletic, representing multiple lineages with intricate evolutionary history. Phylogeographic suggests South Gondwanan origin s. l., its ancestral lineage (LaCA) emerging in Antarctica–South America suture zone before global expansion through three key migration routes: northeast Pantalassic, Trans-Tethyan, southwest Pantalassic. Continental drift climate oscillations influenced process. Initial diversification (~70–60 Ma) led to vicariant taxa due continental isolation, basal ACALO) distributed across America, North Australia. Extinction events, K–T boundary (~66 Cenozoic glaciations, further shaped diversification. rise BATOC PSACO marked early crown-group l. within island continent Greater India archipelagos Trans-Tethyan Arc (~60–50 Ma). collision Asia (~50–45 facilitated faunal exchanges, aiding dispersal into Africa Southeast driving ANOPL (45–35 ACALO clade underwent secondary during initial Australia Eurasia (~25–20 Ma), coinciding uplift New Guinea Miocene. LAMIA likely originated East During Miocene Climatic Optimum, expanded via Gomphotherium Land Bridge (~16 colonized Europe. Later cooling aridification (~5–11 drove diversification, particularly Eurasian steppes. MONOC also Asia, adapting montane coniferous forests cooling. It spread glaciations (~20 Ma, ~14 entered Beringia. Expansion Mesoamerica, northern Caribbean occurred Pleistocene (~0.01–2 when fluctuating sea levels enabled dispersal. summary, findings refine phylogeny highlight impact geological climatic events on evolution.

Abstract Stingrays genus Hypanus currently encompasses nine valid species from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, though phylogenetic relationships amongst some of them were based on a single mitochondrial gene did not involve all putative species. To address monophyly its relationship to other Dasyatinae genera, we sequenced whole genomes that supposedly belong this representatives Dasyatinae, Neotrygoninae, and, as an outgroup, Fontitrygon (Urogymninae). Based analyses, is sister-genus subfamily closely-related Neotrygoninae within family Dasyatidae. The F. geijskesi closely related H. guttatus rather than congeners should be allocated for monophyly. After lineage delimitation identified three complexes composed americanus, guttatus, say, with two distinct evolutionary lineages each, leaving 13 units, which six are under threat only sabinus least concern. urgency in identifying these new lies fact they might already before being formally described.

Larvae of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) have evolved a diverse and phylogenetically conserved array of plant cell wall degrading enzymes

Systematic Entomology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 46(4), P. 784 - 797

Published: May 11, 2021

Abstract Longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) are the most diverse group of predominantly wood‐feeding (xylophagous) insects on Earth. Larvae species feed within tissues plants made up large amounts plant cell wall (PCW), which is notoriously difficult to digest. To efficiently access nutrients from their food source, cerambycid larvae have deconstruct PCW polysaccharides – such as cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin requiring them possess a diversity degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) in digestive tract. Genomic data for Cerambycidae mostly limited notorious forest pests lacking taxonomic groups. Consequently, our understanding distribution evolution PCWDEs quite limited. We addressed numbers, kinds by surveying larval midgut transcriptomes 23 representing six eight recognized subfamilies each with very host types (i.e., gymnosperms, angiosperms, xylem, phloem, fresh or dead tissues). Using these data, we identified 340 new putative belonging ten carbohydrate active enzyme families, including two gene families (GH7 GH53) not previously reported insects. The remarkably wide range expressed should allow break down polysaccharides. Moreover, observed encoded genomes agreed more phylogenetic relationship studied than origin quality tissues.
