Figure 1.
Mitochondrial map of Neochauliodes punctatolosus.
The tRNAs are denoted by the color blocks and are labelled according to the IUPACIUB single-letter amino acid codes. Gene name without underline indicates the direction of transcription from left to right, and with underline indicates right to left. Overlapping lines within the circle denote PCR fragments amplified used for cloning and sequencing.
Figure 2.
The size of PCGs, rrnL, rrnS, and CR, respectively, among sequenced Neuropterida mt genomes.
Figure 3.
AT% vs AT-Skew and GC% vs GC-Skew in Neuropterida mt genomes.
Measured in bp percentage (Y-axis) and level of nucleotide skew (X-axis). Values are calculated on full length mt genomes. Green circle, Raphidioptera; blue circle, Neuroptera; red circle, Megaloptera.
Figure 4.
Inferred secondary structure of 22 tRNAs of Neochauliodes punctatolosus.
The tRNAs are labelled with the abbreviations of their corresponding amino acids. Inferred Watson-Crick bonds are illustrated by lines, whereas GU bonds are illustrated by dots.
Figure 5.
Predicted secondary structure of the rrnL gene in Neochauliodes punctatolosus.
Inferred Watson-Crick bonds are illustrated by lines, GU bonds by dots.
Figure 6.
Predicted secondary structure of the rrnS gene in Neochauliodes punctatolosus.
Roman numerals denote the conserved domain structure. Inferred Watson-Crick bonds are illustrated by lines, GU bonds by dots.
Figure 7.
Phylogenetic relationships among the sequenced Neuropterida insects.
Numbers at the nodes are Bayesian posterior probabilities (left) and ML bootstrap values (right).
Figure 8.
Estimated divergence times of major clades of Neuropterida.
Nodes on the phylogram represent means of the probability distributions for node ages, with time intervals for 95% probability of actual age represented as blue bars. Time-scale units are in millions of years and numbers on nodes represent the estimated age for that divergence.
