Article Abstract
The wedge-tailed green pigeon () has a protective value in the evolution of the family Columbidae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of from Baise City, China, which represents the first sequenced species of the genus in Tribe Treronini, is reported. This was accomplished using PCR-based methods and a primer-walking sequencing strategy with genus-specific primers. The mitogenome was found to be 18,919 bp in length comprising 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region. In terms of structure and composition, many similarities were found between the and (New Zealand pigeon) mitogenomes. This was further supported by phylogenetic analysis showing that has a close evolutionary relationship with . The complete mitogenome of reported here is expected to provide valuable molecular information for further studies on the phylogeny of the genus and for analyses of the taxonomic status of the family Columbidae.

The complete mitogenome of the common Chinese whip scorpion, (Butler, 1872) was sequenced and compared with another Uropygid mitogenome of (Lucas, 1835). Structural divergences include the absence of one tRNA-Leu and strand inversions in four protein coding genes (PCGs). All PCGs showed K/K ratios-1, which indicates purifying selection, with COI (0.

Red root disease in rubber trees, caused by , is a prevalent and severe soil-borne disease in rubber tree cultivation areas. The pathogen exhibits complex infections, with multiple transmission pathways, making the disease highly concealed and difficult to diagnose in its early stages. As a result, prevention and control are challenging, posing a serious threat to rubber production.

We have sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly Kiesenwetter, 1874 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Luciolinae) from Niigata Prefecture, Honshu, Japan, and inferred the Luciolinae phylogeny. The circular genome of 16,685 bp (GenBank accession number, LC677171) has a base composition of A (43.52%), C (13.

The Millard's rat (), a threatened murid endemic to Southeast Asian montane rainforests and the sole member of its monotypic genus, faces escalating endangered risks as a Near Threatened species in China's Biodiversity Red List. This ecologically specialized rodent exhibits diagnostic morphological adaptations-hypertrophied upper molars and cryptic pelage-that underpin niche differentiation in undisturbed tropical/subtropical forests. Despite its evolutionary distinctiveness, the conservation prioritization given to is hindered due to a deficiency of data and unresolved phylogenetic relationships.
