Mitochondrial DNA variation is used to delimit species in a poorly known beetle radiation in the genus Rivacindela from arid Australia, allowing largely automated species delineation from DNA surveys of local communities as a scaffold for taxonomy in this poorly known insect group.

The 454/Roche platform procedure could be employed routinely for mitochondrial genome sequencing at the species level, to provide improved species ‘barcodes’ that currently use the cox1 gene only.

The sequence profile of Fijian Copelatus provides an evolutionary framework for the group and a DNA-based reference system for the integration of ecological and other biodiversity data, independent of the Linnaean naming system.

The results show that molecular cytogenetics can be applied to coleopteran chromosomes and open the way for a physical mapping of DNA sequences in these organisms.

The first complete nucleotide sequence of an amphipod species, Metacrangonyx longipes, belonging to a phylogenetically enigmatic family occurring in continental subterranean waters, shows a unique crustacean mitogenome gene order, differing even from the condition found in Parhyale hawaiiensis (Amphipoda), whose coding sequence has been completed in the present study.
Complex pattern of coalescence and fast evolution of a mitochondrial rRNA pseudogene in a recent radiation of tiger beetles.
The young age of the Rivacindela numt clade, their absence in species outside of a narrow lineage of related individuals, and the high rate of deletions suggest that insertions do not persist in this group, consistent with the view that comparatively small genomes as those of Coleoptera harbor fewer mitochondrial and other nuclear pseudogenes.
Mitochondrial Cox1 Sequence Data Reliably Uncover Patterns of Insect Diversity But Suffer from High Lineage-Idiosyncratic Error Rates

Cox1 sequence data are a powerful tool for large-scale species richness estimation, with a great potential for use in ecology and β-diversity studies and for setting conservation priorities, however, error rates can be high in individual lineages.
