Sequence comparison of the mitochondrial genomes of Plesionika species (Caridea: Pandalidae), gene rearrangement and phylogenetic relationships of Caridea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the Caridean shrimps' vast species richness and ecological diversity, controversies persist in their molecular classification. Within Caridea, the Pandalidae family exemplifies significant taxonomic diversity. As of June 25, 2023, GenBank hosts only nine complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) for this family. The Plesionika genus within Pandalidae is recognized as polyphyletic. To improve our understanding of the mitogenome evolution and phylogenetic relationships of Caridea, this study introduces three novel mitogenome sequences from the Plesionika genus: P.  ortmanni, P. izumiae and P. lophotes.

Methods

The complete mitochondrial genomes of three Plesionika species were sequenced utiliz
