Project description:Species of Gampsocleis have a long history as singing pets in China. The complete mitochondrial genome of Gampsocleis fletcheri (Burr, 1899) is 15,719 bp in size. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. The base composition of G. fletcheri mitochondrial genome is A (34.7%), T (30.4%), G (12.0%), and C (22.9%), with an A + T bias (65.1%). Phylogenetic analyses based on the 13 PCGs showed that G. fletcheri was sister to G. gratiosa. The present genomic-level and male genitalia evidences support to restore the taxonomic status of G. fletcheri.

Project description:Gampsocleis glabra population genomics
Project description:In an attempt to explain the variation within this species and clarify the subspecies classification, an analysis of the genetic, calling songs, and morphological variations within the species Gampsocleis sedakovii is presented from Inner Mongolia, China. Recordings were compared of the male calling songs and analysis performed of selected acoustic variables. This analysis is combined with sequencing of mtDNA - COI and examination of morphological traits to perform cluster analyses. The trees constructed from different datasets were structurally similar, bisecting the six geographical populations studied. Based on two large branches in the analysis, the species Gampsocleis sedakovii was partitioned into two subspecies, Gampsocleis sedakovii sedakovii (Fischer von Waldheim, 1846) and Gampsocleis sedakovii obscura (Walker, 1869). Comparing all the traits, the individual of Elunchun (ELC) was the intermediate type in this species according to the acoustic, genetic, and morphological characteristics. This study provides evidence for insect acoustic signal divergence and the process of subspeciation.
