Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the springtail Bourletiella arvalis (Fitch, 1863) is herein described and applied to a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, inclusive of all the Collembola mitochon- drial DNAs sequenced so far. The gene content and order, as well as the nucleotide composition, con- form with the well-known features of hexapods’ mitochondrial genomes. The phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of Collembola, Poduromorpha, Entomobryomorpha and Symphypleona. However, no mtDNA from Neelipleona is available to date, therefore limiting the application of mito- chondrial genomes to further investigate springtail systematics.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
