Nucleotide substitution rates for the full set of mitochondrial protein-coding genes in Coleoptera.
- J. Pons, I. Ribera, J. Bertranpetit, M. Balke
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 August 2010
The ages of cladogenetic events in Coleoptera are frequently estimated with mitochondrial protein-coding genes (MPCGs) and the "standard" mitochondrial nucleotide substitution rate for arthropods.… Expand
Large‐scale molecular phylogeny of Cryptorhynchinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from multiple genes suggests American origin and later Australian radiation
- A. Riedel, René Tänzler, J. Pons, Y. R. Suhardjono, M. Balke
- Biology
- 1 April 2016
The monophyly of the highly diverse weevil subfamily Cryptorhynchinae is tested with a dataset of 203 taxa representing 159 genera of Curculionoidea, 105 of them Cryptorhynchinae s.l. We construct a… Expand
DNA‐based identification of preys from non‐destructive, total DNA extractions of predators using arthropod universal primers
- J. Pons
- Biology
- 1 September 2006
Here, I show that prey sequences can be detected from DNA of tiger beetles of the genus Rivacindela using whole specimens, nondestructive methods, and universal cytochrome b primers for arthropods.… Expand
Cryptic diversity, intraspecific phenetic plasticity and recent geographical translocations in Branchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida)
- M. Capa, J. Pons, P. Hutchings
- Biology
- 1 November 2013
The importance of identifying biological diversity accurately and efficiently is becoming more evident. It is therefore critical to determine the species boundaries between closely related taxa and… Expand
Mitochondrial genome rearrangements at low taxonomic levels: three distinct mitogenome gene orders in the genus Pseudoniphargus (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
- Morten Stokkan, J. A. Jurado-Rivera, C. Juan, Damià Jaume, J. Pons

- 1 September 2016
Abstract A comparison of mitochondrial genomes of three species of the amphipod Pseudoniphargus revealed the occurrence of a surprisingly high level of gene rearrangement involving protein-coding… Expand
Conservation of satellite DNA in species of the genus Pimelia (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera).

- 31 December 1997
Satellite DNA has been characterized in six allopatric species from the genus Pimelia: P. interjecta, P. integra, P. variolosa and P. baetica, inhabiting Iberian Peninsula, and P. elevata and P.… Expand
Characterization of the heterochromatin of the darkling beetle Misolampus goudoti: cloning of two satellite DNA families and digestion of chromosomes with restriction enzymes.

- 28 May 2004
The darkling beetle Misolampus goudoti Er. has 58% of C-banded chromosome material. In this paper we deal with the study of the heterochromatin of this insect both by molecular and cytogenetical… Expand

- Geology
- 12 May 2016
The chronology of the extinction of the Balearic fossil bovid Myotragus balearicus in Mallorca and Menorca has been under discussion since its discovery in 1909, and especially in the last decades,… Expand
