Neogastropod (Mollusca, Gastropoda) phylogeny: A step forward with mitogenomes.

ABSTRACT: The Neogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda) encompass more than 15,000 described species of marine predators, including several model organisms in toxinology, embryology and physiology. However, their phylogenetic relationships remain mostly unresolved and their classification unstable. We took advantage of the many mitogenomes published in GenBank to produce a new molecular phylogeny of the neogastropods. We completed the taxon sampling by using an in-house bioinformatic pipeline to retrieve mitochondrial genes from 13 transcriptomes, corresponding to five families not represented in GenBank, for a final dataset of 113 taxa. Because mitogenomic data are prone to reconstruction artefacts, eight different evolutionary models were applied to reconstruct phylogenetic trees with IQTREE, RAxML and
