Mitochondrial phylogenomics of Acanthocephala: nucleotide alignments produce long-branch attraction artefacts

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of Acanthocephala: nucleotide alignments produce long-branch attraction artefacts

Abstract Background Classification of the Acanthocephala, a clade of obligate endoparasites, remains unresolved because of insufficiently strong resolution of morphological characters and scarcity of molecular data with a sufficient resolution. Mitochondrial genomes may be a suitable candidate, but...
