Phylogenomics of Parasitic and Nonparasitic Lice (Insecta: Psocodea): Combining Sequence Data and Exploring Compositional Bias Solutions in Next Generation Data Sets

Robert S. de Moya et al.

Summary: The insect order Psocodea is a diverse lineage comprising both parasitic and nonparasitic members. A phylogenomic analysis suggests a single origin of parasitism within the order, leading to a proposed stable ordinal level classification scheme. Dating analysis indicates an origin of parasitism predating the K-Pg boundary, while nucleotide compositional biases affect the placement of taxonomic names within the group.

Structure, gene order, and nucleotide composition of mitochondrial genomes in parasitic lice from Amblycera

Andrew D. Sweet et al.

Summary: Parasitic lice have unique mitochondrial genomes characterized by rearranged gene orders, variable structures, and less AT content compared to other insects. The mitochondrial genomes of Amblycera are highly rearranged and AT-biased, with genus-level phylogenetic relationships being consistent with large nuclear datasets but gene order data being unreliable in recovering these relationships. Overall, the mt genomes of lice are more variable than previously thought.

Highly rearranged mitochondrial genome in Falcolipeurus lice (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from endangered eagles

Yu Nie et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mitochondrial genomes of two louse species from the family Philopteridae and found significant gene rearrangements. Phylogenetic analysis suggested a clear genetic distinction between Falcolipeurus and Ibidoecus, providing valuable genetic markers for further systematic studies of bird lice.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
