Comparative Mitogenomic Analyses and New Insights into the Phylogeny of Thamnocephalidae (Branchiopoda: Anostraca).

ABSTRACT: Thamnocephalidae, a family of Anostraca which is widely distributed on all continents of the world except Antarctica, currently consists of six genera and approximately 63 recognized species. The relationships among genera in Thamnocephalidae and the monophyly of Thamnocephalidae, determined using morphological characteristics or gene markers, remain controversial. In order to address the relationships within Thamnocephalidae, we sequenced Branchinella kugenumaensis mitogenomes and conducted a comparative analysis to reveal the divergence across mitogenomes of B. kugenumaensis. Using newly obtained mitogenomes together with available Anostracan genomic sequences, we present the most complete phylogenomic understanding of Anostraca to date. We observed high divergence across m
