Higher-level phylogeny of Chrysomelidae based on expanded sampling of mitogenomes.

ABSTRACT: Chrysomelidae is one of the most diverse lineages of beetles. The classification and phylogeny of Chrysomelidae have been contentious. In this study, we obtained 16 new mitogenome sequences by using next-generation sequencing. Combined with the published mitogenomes, we inferred the phylogenetic relationships of Chrysomelidae. Different data recoding strategies and substitution models were applied to phylogenetic reconstruction. In the Maximum likelihood analyses under the homogeneous model, Dayhoff recoding allowed for the improved phylogenetic resolution due to the decreased level of heterogeneous sequence divergence. Bayesian inference under the heterogeneous model yielded generally well resolved subfamily relationships. The present mitogenome data strongly supported Chrysomelidae as a monophyletic group. Consistent with previous work, we found three major subfamily clades within Chrysomelidae. However, the pattern of the "sagrine" clade plus the "eumolpine" clade being sister to the "chrysomeline" clade contrasted with the prior study. The placement of the genus Syneta with regards to these three clades was ambiguous. Relationships recovered suggested several major chrysomelid lineages, including: (1) Bruchinae in the "sagrine" clade; (2) Donaciinae + Criocerinae; (3) Spilopyrinae + (Cassidinae + (Eumolpinae + (Lamprosomatinae + Cryptocephalinae))); (4) Chrysomelinae + (Alticinae + Galerucinae). Results also suggested the placement of Timarcha outside the major Chrysomelinae.

Improved phylogenomic sampling of free-living nematodes enhances resolution of higher-level nematode phylogeny.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Nematodes are among the most diverse and abundant metazoans on Earth, but research on them has been biased toward parasitic taxa and model organisms. Free-living nematodes, particularly from the clades Enoplia and Dorylaimia, have been underrepresented in genome-scale phylogenetic analyses to date, leading to poor resolution of deep relationships within the phylum. RESULTS:We supplemented publicly available data by sequencing transcriptomes of nine free-living nematodes and two important outgroups and conducted a phylum-wide phylogenomic analysis including a total of 108 nematodes. Analysis of a dataset generated using a conservative orthology inference strategy resulted in a matrix with a high proportion of missing data and moderate to weak support for branching within and placement of Enoplia. A less conservative orthology inference approach recovered more genes and resulted in higher support for the deepest splits within Nematoda, recovering Enoplia as the sister taxon to the rest of Nematoda. Relationships within major clades were similar to those found in previously published studies based on 18S rDNA. CONCLUSIONS:Expanded transcriptome sequencing of free-living nematodes has contributed to better resolution among deep nematode lineages, though the dataset is still strongly biased toward parasites. Inclusion of more free-living nematodes in future phylogenomic analyses will allow a clearer understanding of many interesting aspects of nematode evolution, such as morphological and molecular adaptations to parasitism and whether nematodes originated in a marine or terrestrial environment.

Assessing phylogenetic relationships among galliformes: a multigene phylogeny with expanded taxon sampling in Phasianidae.

Project description:Galliform birds (relatives of the chicken and turkey) have attracted substantial attention due to their importance to society and value as model systems. This makes understanding the evolutionary history of Galliformes, especially the species-rich family Phasianidae, particularly interesting and important for comparative studies in this group. Previous studies have differed in their conclusions regarding galliform phylogeny. Some of these studies have suggested that specific clades within this order underwent rapid radiations, potentially leading to the observed difficulty in resolving their phylogenetic relationships. Here we presented analyses of six nuclear intron sequences and two mitochondrial regions, an amount of sequence data larger than many previous studies, and expanded taxon sampling by collecting data from 88 galliform species and four anseriform outgroups. Our results corroborated recent studies describing relationships among the major families, and provided further evidence that the traditional division of the largest family, the Phasianidae into two major groups ("pheasants" and "partridges") is not valid. Within the Phasianidae, relationships among many genera have varied among studies and there has been little consensus for the placement of many taxa. Using this large dataset, with substantial sampling within the Phasianidae, we obtained strong bootstrap support to confirm some previously hypothesized relationships and we were able to exclude others. In addition, we added the first nuclear sequence data for the partridge and quail genera Ammoperdix, Caloperdix, Excalfactoria, and Margaroperdix, placing these taxa in the galliform tree of life with confidence. Despite the novel insights obtained by combining increased sampling of taxa and loci, our results suggest that additional data collection will be necessary to solve the remaining uncertainties.

Higher-level phylogeny of paraneopteran insects inferred from mitochondrial genome sequences.

Project description:Mitochondrial (mt) genome data have been proven to be informative for animal phylogenetic studies but may also suffer from systematic errors, due to the effects of accelerated substitution rate and compositional heterogeneity. We analyzed the mt genomes of 25 insect species from the four paraneopteran orders, aiming to better understand how accelerated substitution rate and compositional heterogeneity affect the inferences of the higher-level phylogeny of this diverse group of hemimetabolous insects. We found substantial heterogeneity in base composition and contrasting rates in nucleotide substitution among these paraneopteran insects, which complicate the inference of higher-level phylogeny. The phylogenies inferred with concatenated sequences of mt genes using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods and homogeneous models failed to recover Psocodea and Hemiptera as monophyletic groups but grouped, instead, the taxa that had accelerated substitution rates together, including Sternorrhyncha (a suborder of Hemiptera), Thysanoptera, Phthiraptera and Liposcelididae (a family of Psocoptera). Bayesian inference with nucleotide sequences and heterogeneous models (CAT and CAT + GTR), however, recovered Psocodea, Thysanoptera and Hemiptera each as a monophyletic group. Within Psocodea, Liposcelididae is more closely related to Phthiraptera than to other species of Psocoptera. Furthermore, Thysanoptera was recovered as the sister group to Hemiptera.

Higher level phylogeny and the first divergence time estimation of Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) based on multiple genes.

Project description:Heteroptera, or true bugs, are the largest, morphologically diverse and economically important group of insects with incomplete metamorphosis. However, the phylogenetic relationships within Heteroptera are still in dispute and most of the previous studies were based on morphological characters or with single gene (partial or whole 18S rDNA). Besides, so far, divergence time estimates for Heteroptera totally rely on the fossil record, while no studies have been performed on molecular divergence rates. Here, for the first time, we used maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) with multiple genes (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, 16S rDNA and COI) to estimate phylogenetic relationships among the infraorders, and meanwhile, the Penalized Likelihood (r8s) and Bayesian (BEAST) molecular dating methods were employed to estimate divergence time of higher taxa of this suborder. Major results of the present study included: Nepomorpha was placed as the most basal clade in all six trees (MP trees, ML trees and Bayesian trees of nuclear gene data and four-gene combined data, respectively) with full support values. The sister-group relationship of Cimicomorpha and Pentatomomorpha was also strongly supported. Nepomorpha originated in early Triassic and the other six infraorders originated in a very short period of time in middle Triassic. Cimicomorpha and Pentatomomorpha underwent a radiation at family level in Cretaceous, paralleling the proliferation of the flowering plants. Our results indicated that the higher-group radiations within hemimetabolous Heteroptera were simultaneously with those of holometabolous Coleoptera and Diptera which took place in the Triassic. While the aquatic habitat was colonized by Nepomorpha already in the Triassic, the Gerromorpha independently adapted to the semi-aquatic habitat in the Early Jurassic.

An expanded phylogeny for the genus Phytophthora.

Project description:A comprehensive phylogeny representing 142 described and 43 provisionally named Phytophthora species is reported here for this rapidly expanding genus. This phylogeny features signature sequences of 114 ex-types and numerous authentic isolates that were designated as representative isolates by the originators of the respective species. Multiple new subclades were assigned in clades 2, 6, 7, and 9. A single species P. lilii was placed basal to clades 1 to 5, and 7. Phytophthora stricta was placed basal to other clade 8 species, P. asparagi to clade 6 and P. intercalaris to clade 10. On the basis of this phylogeny and ancestral state reconstructions, new hypotheses were proposed for the evolutionary history of sporangial papillation of Phytophthora species. Non-papillate ancestral Phytophthora species were inferred to evolve through separate evolutionary paths to either papillate or semi-papillate species.

Geographic Variation of <i>Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus</i> Mitogenomes: Genetic Differentiation and Phylogeny.

Project description:Phyllodiaptomus tunguidus (Copepoda: Calanoida) is largely endemic to and widespread in freshwater in southern China, where it inhabits a complex landscape from lowland to highland across an elevation gradient of 2000m. A deep genetic differentiation can be expected between its most distant geographic populations. Here, we sequenced nine mitogenomes from diverse populations. All mitogenomes contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCG), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one control region. Their base composition, genetic distance and tRNA structure indeed revealed a wide differentiation between mitogenomes. Two P. tunguidus from Guangxi near Vietnam differed from the other seven by up to 10.1%. Their tRNA-Arg had a complete clover-leaf structure, whereas that of the others did not contain an entire dihydrouridine arm. The nine mitogenomes also differed in the length of rRNA. NJ, ML, and Bayesian analyses all split them into two clades, viz. the two P. tunguidus from Guangxi (Clade 1), and the other seven (Clade 2). Both the structure and phylogeny of the mitogenomes suggest that P. tunguidus has complex geographic origin, and its populations in Clade 1 have long lived in isolation from those in Clade 2. They currently reach the level of subspecies or cryptic species. An extensive phylogenetic analysis of Copepoda further verified that Diaptomidae is the most recently diverging family in Calanoida and that P. tunguidus is at the evolutionary apex of the family.

A Systematic Approach to Bacterial Phylogeny Using Order Level Sampling and Identification of HGT Using Network Science.

Project description:Reconstructing and visualizing phylogenetic relationships among living organisms is a fundamental challenge because not all organisms share the same genes. As a result, the first phylogenetic visualizations employed a single gene, e.g., rRNA genes, sufficiently conserved to be present in all organisms but divergent enough to provide discrimination between groups. As more genome data became available, researchers began concatenating different combinations of genes or proteins to construct phylogenetic trees believed to be more robust because they incorporated more information. However, the genes or proteins chosen were based on ad hoc approaches. The large number of complete genome sequences available today allows the use of whole genomes to analyze relationships among organisms rather than using an ad hoc set of genes. We present a systematic approach for constructing a phylogenetic tree based on simultaneously clustering the complete proteomes of 360 bacterial species. From the homologous clusters, we identify 49 protein sequences shared by 99% of the organisms to build a tree. Of the 49 sequences, 47 have homologous sequences in both archaea and eukarya. The clusters are also used to create a network from which bacterial species with horizontally-transferred genes from other phyla are identified.

Phylogenomic Insights into Deep Phylogeny of Angiosperms Based on Broad Nuclear Gene Sampling.

Project description:Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most diverse and species-rich group of plants. The vast majority (∼99.95%) of angiosperms form a clade called Mesangiospermae, which is subdivided into five major groups: eudicots, monocots, magnoliids, Chloranthales, and Ceratophyllales. The relationships among these Mesangiospermae groups have been the subject of long debate. In this study, we assembled a phylogenomic dataset of 1594 genes from 151 angiosperm taxa, including representatives of all five lineages, to investigate the phylogeny of major angiosperm lineages under both coalescent- and concatenation-based methods. We dissected the phylogenetic signal and found that more than half of the genes lack phylogenetic information for the backbone of angiosperm phylogeny. We further removed the genes with weak phylogenetic signal and showed that eudicots, Ceratophyllales, and Chloranthales form a clade, with magnoliids and monocots being the next successive sister lineages. Similar frequencies of gene tree conflict are suggestive of incomplete lineage sorting along the backbone of the angiosperm phylogeny. Our analyses suggest that a fully bifurcating species tree may not be the best way to represent the early radiation of angiosperms. Meanwhile, we inferred that the crown-group angiosperms originated approximately between 255.1 and 222.2 million years ago, and Mesangiospermae diversified into the five extant groups in a short time span (∼27 million years) at the Early to Late Jurassic.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Clistocoeloma sinensis (Brachyura: Grapsoidea): Gene rearrangements and higher-level phylogeny of the Brachyura.

Project description:Deciphering the animal mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is very important to understand their molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships. In this study, the complete mitogenome of Clistocoeloma sinensis was determined. The mitogenome of C. sinensis was 15,706?bp long, and its A+T content was 75.7%. The A+T skew of the mitogenome of C. sinensis was slightly negative (-0.020). All the transfer RNA genes had the typical cloverleaf structure, except for the trnS1 gene, which lacked a dihydroxyuridine arm. The two ribosomal RNA genes had 80.2% A+T content. The A+T-rich region spanned 684?bp. The gene order within the complete mitogenome of C. sinensis was identical to the pancrustacean ground pattern except for the translocation of trnH. Additionally, the gene order of trnI-trnQ-trnM in the pancrustacean ground pattern becomes trnQ-trnI-trnM in C. sinensis. Our phylogenetic analysis showed that C. sinensis and Sesarmops sinensis cluster together with high nodal support values, indicating that C. sinensis and S. sinensis have a sister group relationship. The results support that C. sinensis belongs to Grapsoidea, Sesarmidae. Our findings also indicate that Varunidae and Sesarmidae species share close relationships. Thus, mitogenomes are likely to be valuable tools for systematics in other groups of Crustacea.
