The complete mitochondrial genome of Pericapritermes nitobei (Isoptera: Termitidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete circular mitochondrial genome of a higher termite Pericapritermes nitobei has a length of 15,224bp and encodes 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and a non-coding control region (D-loop). Protein coding genes (PCGs) in this circular mitogenome start with standard ATN initiation codons and end with complete termination codons TAN except for cox2 and nad5 genes with an incomplete stop codon T. The percentage of A and T (67.49%) is higher than that of G and C (32.51%). The phylogenetic tree revealed that mitogenomes of Pericapritermes formed one clade. The tree also revealed that Pericapritermes dolichocephalus and Pericapritermes latignathus constituted a sister group to P. nitobei. The date here provide a resource for genetics and evolution analysis within termites especially Pericapritermes genus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes periflaviceps (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of the Reticulitermes periflaviceps contains 15,925 bp of nucleotide in length including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transport RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a non-coding region. The overall A + T among the genome sequence is 65.64%. The start codons of all protein-coding genes are ATN and the stop codon is TAA except TAG for Nad1 and incomplete T for COII and Nad5. The lengths of 12sRNA and 16sRNA genes are 743 and 1309 bp, respectively, and the control region was 1118 bp in length, with two repeating tandem regions. The phylogenetic tree revealed that R. periflaviceps and Reticulitermes kanmonensis constituted a sister group to Reticulitermes flaviceps.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the drywood termite Cryptotermes havilandi (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae).

Project description:We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of an important pest of timber, the drywood termite Cryptotermes havilandi. The gene content and synteny of the mitochondrial genome of C. havilandi is identical to that of other termite species reported to date. It is composed 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Our phylogenetic tree, that includes the mitochondrial genomes of 14 species of Kalotermitidae, including C. havilandi, resolves the phylogenetic position of C. havilandi within Kalotermitidae.

Phylogeography of Nasutitermes corniger (Isoptera: Termitidae) in the Neotropical Region.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The Neotropical Region is known for its biodiversity and ranks third in number of known termite species. However, biogeographic and phylogeographic information of termites of this region is limited compared to other world geographic regions. Nasutitermes corniger is widely distributed in the region and is of considerable economic importance. The goal of this study was to describe the phylogeography of N. corniger in the Neotropical Region, to better understand its evolutionary processes. RESULTS:The sampled populations of N. corniger showed high genetic variation. Results indicated strong geographic structure among N. corniger populations, with most haplotypes not broadly shared among separated locations. Phylogeographic analyses showed a dispersal route for N. corniger from Central America into South America via the Isthmus of Panama, with subsequent dispersal through the highlands east of the Andes and into eastern regions of the continent. The majority of haplotypes were limited in distribution to proximal regions, corresponding to particular biomes (Atlantic Forest, Amazonia, Chaco, Cerrado and Caatinga). CONCLUSIONS:Nasutitermes corniger is suggested to be a good model for biogeographic and phylogeographic studies in the Neotropical Region. This study clarified the phylogeographic history of N. corniger and can contribute to the understanding of biogeographic dispersion processes in the Neotropical Region.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptotermes declivis Tsai et Chen (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenomes) of Cryptotermes declivis were revealed. The circular mitogenome of C. declivis (accession number MK599465) has a length of 15678 bp and an overall G + C content of 35.07%. Genome orientation showed rearrangement. The position of the trnV is moved from the L-strand between rrnL and rrnS to the H-strand between rrnS and trnI. The data further expands arthropod mitogenome databases and provides a case of gene rearrangement.

Uncitermes almeriae, a new termite species from Amazonia (Isoptera, Termitidae, Syntermitinae).

Project description:The Neotropical termite genus Uncitermes Rocha & Cancello, 2012 was known from a single species, Uncitermes teevani (Emerson, 1925). In this paper a new species, Uncitermes almeriae sp. n., is described and illustrated from worker and soldier castes, along with observations on the Uncitermes nest. A distribution map with the occurrences of both species is presented. The new species is distinguished from its congener by the presence of short bristles covering the head capsule and frontal tube.

Phylogenetic reconstruction of Syntermitinae (Isoptera, Termitidae) based on morphological and molecular data.

Project description:The subfamily Syntermitinae comprises a group of Neotropical termites with 18 genera and 101 species described. It has been considered a natural group, but relationships among the genera within the subfamily remain uncertain, and some genera appear to be non-monophyletic. Here, we provide a comprehensive phylogeny including six Neotropical species of Termitinae as outgroup, 42 Syntermitinae species as ingroup, 92 morphological characters (from external and internal anatomy of soldier and worker castes) and 117 molecular sequences (109 obtained for this study and 8 from GenBank) of 4 gene regions (41 and 22 from Cytochrome Oxidase I and II respectively, 19 from Cytochrome b, and 35 from 16S rDNA). Morphological and molecular data were analyzed in combination, with the Bayesian inference method, and the important aspects of termite biology, defense and feeding habits are discussed based on the resulting tree. Although useful for providing diagnostic characters, the morphology of the soldier caste reveals several cases of convergence; whereas the feeding habit shows indications of evolutionary significance.
