Figure 3
Mitochondrial gene arrangements of the two oribatid species, P. leontonychus and S. magnus, compared to L. polyphemus, representing the arthropod ground pattern. For S. magnus, mitogenome orders obtained from different annotations are shown. All abbreviations are the same as in Fig. 1 and Table 1. Arrow pointing to the right represents the (+)-strand and arrow to the left the (−)-strand. Genes are drawn in their original order; intergenic distances are not included and sizes of genes are not true to scale. Orange box represents a gene with a different location relative to L. polyphemus; yellow boxes indicate genes that have different positions and ice blue boxes genes that are different in terms of both position and strand associations. Green boxes highlight the newly predicted tRNAs for S. magnus, grey boxes indicate congruencies between the re-annotation of Klimov and OConnor27, and this study.
