Sequence comparison of the mitochondrial genomes of five caridean shrimps of the infraorder Caridea: phylogenetic implications and divergence time estimation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Caridea, affiliated with Malacostraca, Decapoda, and Pleocyemata, constitute one of the most significant shrimp groups. They are widely distributed across diverse aquatic habitats worldwide, enriching their evolutionary history. In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the classification and systematic evolution of Caridea, yet controversies still exist regarding the phylogenetic relationships among families.

Methods

Here, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences of five caridean species, namely Heterocarpus sibogae, Procletes levicarina, Macrobrachium sp., Latreutes anoplonyx, and Atya gabonensis, were determined using second-generation high-throughput sequencing technology. The basic structural characteristics, nucleotide c
