The complete mitochondrial genome of Argiope ocula (Araneae: Araneidae) and its phylogeny.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Argiope ocula (GenBank accession number MN331657) is a circular molecule of 14,079 bp in length, comprising of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Ten intergenic spacer regions and 19 reading frame overlaps were found in the mitogenome of A. ocula. Ten tRNAs (trnD, trnF, trnK, trnR, trnT, trnW, trnE, trnG, trnL₁ , and trnM) lacked the TΨC arm stem, whereas three tRNAs (trnA, trnS₁ , and trnS₂ ) lost the dihydrouracil (DHU) arm. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that A. ocula had the closest evolutionary relationship with A. perforata.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Trichonephila clavipes (Araneae: Araneidae).

Project description:Trichonephila clavipes (Linnaeus, 1767) is known as a golden silk orb-weaver and belongs to the family Araneidae. T. clavipes is one of the few spider species whose genome has been reported and model organism for a molecular biology. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence (mtDNA) of T. clavipes. The sequence was obtained using a long-read Nanopore technology and corrected with an Illumina technology. The circular genome is 14,902 bp in length, and the AT content was 77.21%. The T. clavipes mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The majority of PCGs were found on the heavy strain.

Function of bright coloration in the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi (Araneae: Araneidae).

Project description:There are two major competing explanations for the counter-intuitive presence of bright coloration in certain orb-web spiders. Bright coloration could lure insect prey to the web vicinity, increasing the spider's foraging success. Alternatively, the markings could function as disruptive camouflage, making it difficult for the insect prey to distinguish spiders from background colour variation. We measured the prey capture rates of wasp spiders, Argiope bruennichi, that were blacked out, shielded from view using a leaf fragment, or left naturally coloured. Naturally coloured spiders caught over twice the number of prey as did either blacked-out or leaf-shielded spiders, and almost three times as many orthopteran prey. Spectrophotometer measurements suggest that the bright yellow bands on the spider's abdomen are visible to insect prey, but not the banding on the legs, which could disguise the spider's outline. Thus, our results provide strong support for the hypothesis that bright coloration in the wasp spider acts as a visual lure for insect prey and weak support for the hypothesis that the arrangement of the banding pattern across the spider's body disguises the presence of the spider on the web.

The complete mitochondrial genome of an orb-weaver spider Araneus angulatus (Araneae: Araneidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of an orb-weaver spider Araneus angulatus is 14,205 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the major strand is 75.4%. Nine of the protein-coding genes are initiated by typical ATN codons, one gene (COI) starts with TTA and other three genes (ND6, COII, and COIII) begin with TTG. The truncated stop codon (T) occurs in ND3, ND4L, and ND6, whereas the rest ten genes end with the canonical stop codon (TAA and TAG). Fifteen tRNAs lack the potential to form the typically cloverleaf-shaped secondary structure. The control region is 649 bp in length and contains a long tandem repeat region. The result of phylogenetic analysis shows that the relationship of A. angulatus was close to the species in the same family Araneidae.

On four species of the genus Argiope Audouin, 1826 (Araneae, Araneidae) from China.

Project description:Based on morphological and molecular evidence, Argiope macrochoera Thorell, 1891 from China is found to be the unknown female of A. cameloides Zhu & Song, 1994, the known male of A. perforata Schenkel, 1963 is mismatched and provisionally suggested to be the male of A. boesenbergi Levi, 1983, and the true male of A. perforata Schenkel, 1963 is described for the first time. Argiope abramovi Logunov & Jäger, 2015 is suggested to be a synonym of A. perforata Schenkel, 1963. Argiope chloreides Chrysanthus, 1961 and A. vietnamensis Ono, 2010 are newly recorded from China. The unknown male of A. vietnamensis Ono, 2010 is described for the first time.

Phylogeography of a good Caribbean disperser: Argiope argentata (Araneae, Araneidae) and a new 'cryptic' species from Cuba.

Project description:The Caribbean islands harbor rich biodiversity with high levels of single island endemism. Stretches of ocean between islands represent significant barriers to gene-flow. Yet some native species are widespread, indicating dispersal across oceans, even in wingless organisms like spiders. Argiope argentata (Fabricius, 1775) is a large, charismatic, and widespread species of orb-weaving spider ranging from the United States to Argentina and is well known to balloon. Here we explore the phylogeography of Argiope argentata in the Caribbean as a part of the multi-lineage CarBio project, through mtDNA haplotype and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses. The history of the Argiope argentata lineage in the Caribbean goes back 3-5 million years and is characterized by multiple dispersal events and isolation-by-distance. We find a highly genetically distinct lineage on Cuba which we describe as Argiope butchkosp. n. While the argentata lineage seems to readily balloon shorter distances, stretches of ocean still act as filters for among-island gene-flow as evidenced by distinct haplotypes on the more isolated islands, high FST values, and strong correlation between intraspecific (but not interspecific) genetic and geographic distances. The new species described here is clearly genetically diagnosable, but morphologically cryptic, at least with reference to the genitalia that typically diagnose spider species. Our results are consistent with the intermediate dispersal model suggesting that good dispersers, such as our study species, limit the effect of oceanic barriers and thus diversification and endemism.

Project description:We describe the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Cyriopagopus hainanus, a spider in the family of Theraphosidae and endemic to Hainan Island, China. Phylogenetic analyses using mitogenomes of 32 spider species from 20 families strongly supported our sample is sister to Cyriopagopus schmidti. This is also the largest mitogenomic phylogeny of spiders to date. The mitogenomic length of C. hainanus is 13,874 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. hainanus will contribute to studies of mitogenomic evolution and trait evolution in spiders.

Project description:Heptathela kimurai (Kishida, 1920) is a spider that belongs to the family Heptathelidae which is a basial lineage of spiders. The molecular information of ancestral species belonging to families like Heptathelidae is comparatively limited when compared to spider species from derived families. Here we present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence (mtDNA) of H. kimurai. The sequence was obtained using massively parallel sequencing technology. The circular genome was 14,224 bp in length, and the AT content was 69.53%. The H. kimurai mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The majority of PCGs were found in the heavy strand.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Halocosa hatanensis (Araneae: Lycosidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a desert wolf spider, Halocosa hatanensis (Lycosidae) was reported. The circular molecule is 14,257 base pairs (bp) in length and consisted of 77.8% AT nucleotides, containing two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 1 control region, and 1 AT-rich region. The length of 13 PCGs is 10,782 bp in total, encoding 3638 amino acids. The phylogenetic analyses upon mitogenomes proves its relatively basal position within Lycosidae. It would provide further evolutionary research data for the wolf spider family Lycosidae.
