First Report on Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Non-Biting Midges, Revealing a Synapomorphy in <i>Stenochironomus </i>Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae)

First Report on Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Non-Biting Midges, Revealing a Synapomorphy in <i>Stenochironomus </i>Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae)

(1) Background: Gene rearrangement of mitochondrial genome, especially those with phylogenetic signals, has long fascinated evolutionary biologists. The synapomorphic gene rearrangements have been identified across multiple orders and at many different taxonomic levels, supporting the monophyletic o...
