Phylogenetic relationships and the evolution of mimicry in the Chauliognathus yellow-black species complex (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) inferred from mitochondrial COI sequences
The phylogenetic relationships of twelve species of Chauliognathus were investigated by studying the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. A 678 bp fragment of the COI gene was sequenced to test the hypothesis that the Müllerian mimicry species of the “yellow-black” complex make up a monophyletic clade, separated from species with other colour patterns. The data set was analysed by neighbour...
متن کاملThe Aggregation of Chauliognathus Species (coleoptera, Cantharidae) and Its Possible Role for Coexistence and Mimicry
The relative population sizes of a species complex of Chauliognathus are reported, as well as their spatial distribution associated with different patches of food plants. Field work was done at Fazenda Santa Isabel, municipality of Guaíba, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The results suggest that two mechanisms account for the reduction in food competition among the species involved: one is ...
متن کاملMolecular Phylogenetic Relationships of Flightless Beetles Belonging to the Genus Mesechthistatus Breuning, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Inferred from Mitochondrial COI Gene Sequences.
The longicorn beetles belonging to the genus MesechthistatusBreuning, 1950 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) cannot fly since their hindwings are atrophied. This slows down gene flow between local populations. Currently, it is considered that the genus contains four endemic species from the eastern Honshu Is., Japan, M. binodosus, M. furciferus, M. taniguchii and M. fujisanus, that are distributed par...

متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships of neopterygian fishes, inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences.
To investigate the relationships among the three main groups of extant neopterygian fishes--Amiidae, Lepisosteidae, and Teleostei--we sequenced fragments of three mitochondrial genes from 12 different actinopterygian fishes and translated the nucleotide sequences into amino acid sequences. When all three regions are considered together, Amiidae clusters with Lepisosteidae in the most parsimonio...
