Mammalian mitogenomic relationships and the root of the eutherian tree
TLDR
A mitogenomic study based on the set of protein-coding genes from complete mt genomes of 60 mammalian species finds that the previously unrepresented order Dermoptera (flying lemurs) fell within Primates as the sister group of Anthropoidea, making Primates paraphyletic.

The Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence of the Domestic Sheep (Ovis aries) and Comparison with the Other Major Ovine Haplotype
TLDR
The findings suggest that the strains of wild sheep from which domestic sheep originated were more closely related than were the B. primigenius subspecies which gave rise to B. indicus and B. taurus cattle.

Molecular Timing of Primate Divergences as Estimated by Two Nonprimate Calibration Points
TLDR
The findings show that recalculation is necessary of all molecular datings based directly or indirectly on a Cercopithecoidea/Hominoidea split 30 MYBP, and all hominoid divergences receive a much earlier dating.

Conflict Among Individual Mitochondrial Proteins in Resolving the Phylogeny of Eutherian Orders
TLDR
The results and a site-by-site examination of the sequences clearly suggest that convergent or parallel evolution has occurred in ND1 between primates and rodents and/or between ferungulates and the outgroup.

The Mitochondrial Genome of the Sperm Whale and a New Molecular Reference for Estimating Eutherian Divergence Dates
TLDR
The complete mitochondrial genome of an odontocete, the sperm whale, is sequenced and included in phylogenetic analyses together with the previously sequenced complete mtDNAs of two mysticetes and a number of other mammals, making both Artiodactyla and Suiformes (pigs, peccaries, and hippopotamuses) paraphyletic.
