Understanding the evolution of cymothoid isopod parasites using comparative genomics and geometric morphometrics
… and phy-logeny. In the process of producing mitogenome reference sequences for cymothoids,we investigate the placement of Cymothoidae within Isopoda, test the monophyly ofseveral isopod subclades, and investigate the origin of isopod terrestrialisation. Finally,using our reference mitogenome …

Using ancient DNA to infer impacts of European colonization on first nations populations in coastal British Columbia, Canada
… variation. Since the whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides more information than the HVS1, I sequenced the mitogenome of 103 ancient and present-day BC individuals. Some of the HVS1 haplotypes that appeared to be the same, were no longer the same when mitogenome haplotypes were …

Dichlorodiphenyltricholorethane (DDT) resistance mechanisms in Drosophila melanogaster and applications for the cowpea pest Clavigralla tomentosicollis
… cowpea pest. Insect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) provide useful information for defining evolutionary relationships between species, and in some cases species-complexes within populations, as well as contain the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1 or COI) gene, the standard gene for …

A demographic and dietary history of ancient dogs in the Americas using ancient DNA
… also sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), to determine if mitogenome data could be used to confirm the hypotheses made about ancient American dog demography using the hypervariable region. Mitogenome sequences show a higher-resolution perspective on dog diversity, and the …

The Mongolian Remodeling and the structure of Anoplocephalid cestode diversity
… on the diversity of parasites. Here, I use whole mitogenome sequencing to produce a well-resolved phylogeny showing relationships within the <em>Paranoplocephala </em>species complex. I test the hypotheses that the Mongolian Remodeling initiated diversification and subsequent recurrent episodes of …

De novo assembly of transcriptome and genome data from the Asia I mtCOI genetic clade of Bemisia tabaci
… in addition to the B. tabaci Asia I genome, one mitogenome and three endosymbiont genomes representing Portiera, Wolbachia and Arsenophonus were obtained from the same sequence library. The development of a genetic framework is described as a side-project which uses Drosophila essential genes as …

Integrative approach to discovering species diversity within the Mediterranean group of the Bemisia tabaci complex
… analyses of high-throughput sequencing-derived mitogenomes, (ii) reciprocal crossing experiments to investigate reproductive compatibility among Q1, Q2 and ASL populations and developing a molecular marker for hybrid verification, (iii) detection of bacterial endosymbionts and (iv) bioassays to …

Genome-scaled molecular clock studies of invasive mosquitoes and other organisms of societal relevance
… absence of data, I further assembled the whole mitogenome of emerging invasive species Aedes koreicus and Aedes japonicus with the aim of producing useful data for molecular typing and of inferring divergence estimates using whole mitogenomes (Chapter 3). Dated phylogenies point toward more …

Genomic insights into the evolution of the parasitoid Microctonus aethiopoides
… This study uncovers a long circular (33,173 bp) mitogenome with a unique gene arrangement, contributing a valuable genetic resource for future studies of mitochondrial evolution in parasitoids. Overall, my thesis demonstrates how genomic technologies can be used to provide a more comprehensive …
