Complete mitochondrial genome of the Devil Ray, Mobula thurstoni (Lloyd, 1908) (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae).

ABSTRACT: The Devil Ray (Mobula thurstoni) is a species with global distribution and is an important species in conservation terms, here we present its complete mitochondrial genome assembled with Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome was 17,610?bp in length, and consists of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Base composition is 30.7% A, 29.1% T, 26.5% C, and 13.7% G, and 40.2% GC content. Protein-coding genes present two start codon (ATG and GUG) and seven stop codon (UAA, AUA, UUU, UUA, AAU, CCU, and UAG). The control region possesses the highest A?+?T (66.6%) content among all mitochondrial regions. These data would contribute to the evolutionary studies of this genus, where there has been recent reclassification.

Environmental characteristics associated with the presence of the Spinetail devil ray (Mobula mobular) in the eastern tropical Pacific.

Project description:In the eastern Pacific Ocean, the tropical tuna purse-seine fishery incidentally captures high numbers of five mobulid bycatch species; all of which are classified as mortalities by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission due to uncertainties in post-release mortality rates. To date, the factors (operational or environmental) leading to the capture of these species by the fishery have not been well studied. Here, we developed Generalized Additive Models for fisheries observer data to analyze the relationships between the presence/absence of Mobula mobular bycatch and oceanographic conditions, the spatial and temporal variability in fishing location, and the set type (associated with dolphins, free-swimming tuna schools or floating objects). Our results suggest that chlorophyll concentration and sea surface height are the most important variables to describe the presence of M. mobular in conjunction with geographic location (latitude and longitude) and set type. Presence of the species was predicted in waters with chlorophyll concentrations between 0.5-1 mg·m-3 and with sea surface height values close to 0; which indicates direct relationships with productive upwelling systems. Seasonally, M. mobular was observed more frequently during December-January and August-September. We also found the highest probability of presence observed in School sets, followed by Dolphin sets. Three areas were observed as important hotspots: the area close to the coastal upwelling of northern Peru, the area west to Islands Colon Archipelago (Galapagos) and the area close to the Costa Rica Dome. This information is crucial to identify the mobulids habitat and hotspots that could be managed and protected under dynamic spatial management measures to reduce the mortality of mobulid rays in the eastern Pacific purse-seine fishery and, hence, ensure the sustainability of the populations of these iconic species.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Mollitrichosiphum tenuicorpus (Okajima, 1908) (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Greenideinae).

Project description:Here we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the aphid species Mollitrichosiphum tenuicorpus. The M. tenuicorpus mitogenome is 15,727 bp in length and comprising 37 genes typically present in insect mitogenomes, a control region, and a unique repeat region. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) terminate with TAA or TAG except for cox1, which is terminated with T-. The secondary structure of trnS (AGN) loses the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm, but all the other transfer RNAs show the typical clover-leaf secondary structure. The repeat region between trnE and trnF is 458 bp, with a 217-bp repeat unit repeating 2.11 times. Phylogenetic analysis of the M. tenuicorpus mitogenome using the maximum-likelihood optimality criterion places it in a strongly supported sister position to Eutrichosiphum pasaniae. These data show that mitogenome sequences could be useful in resolving phylogenetic relationships of the Greenideinae.

Description of first nursery area for a pygmy devil ray species (Mobula munkiana) in the Gulf of California, Mexico.

Project description:Munk's pygmy devil rays (Mobula munkiana) are medium-size, zooplanktivorous filter feeding, elasmobranchs characterized by aggregative behavior, low fecundity and delayed reproduction. These traits make them susceptible to targeted and by-catch fisheries and are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Multiple studies have examined fisheries impacts, but nursery areas or foraging neonate and juvenile concentrations have not been examined. This study describes the first nursery area for M. munkiana at Espiritu Santo Archipelago, Mexico. We examined spatial use of a shallow bay during 22 consecutive months in relation to environmental patterns using traditional tagging (n = 95) and acoustic telemetry (n = 7). Neonates and juveniles comprised 84% of tagged individuals and their residency index was significantly greater inside than outside the bay; spending a maximum of 145 consecutive days within the bay. Observations of near-term pregnant females, mating behavior, and neonates indicate an April to June pupping period. Anecdotal photograph review indicated that the nursery area is used by neonates and juveniles across years. These findings confirm, for the first time, the existence of nursery areas for Munk's pygmy devil rays and the potential importance of shallow bays during early life stages for the conservation of this species.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae (Okajima, 1908) (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Greenideinae).

Project description:In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae through Illumina platform. The circular mitogenome is 16,500 bp in length and composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), a large control region and a special repeat region. The nucleotide composition of whole mitogenome is strongly AT-biased (85.5%). All PCGs start with ATN and end with TAA except for cox1 which terminates with an incomplete stop codon T. All tRNAs have a typical clover-leaf secondary structure except for trnS (AGN). The lengths of rrnL, rrnS and control region are 1276, 774 and 996 bp, respectively. The repeat region with a length of 909 bp is located between trnE and trnF and consists of 4.1 repeat units. The phylogenetic tree supports the sister relationship of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae and Greenidea psidii.
