Insect mitochondrial genomics: implications for evolution and phylogeny. (2014, background): “The different arrangement of two mt genomes can be described by a standard series of gene movements: transposition, inversion, and inverse transposition (44).”
MitoFinder: Efficient automated large‐scale extraction of mitogenomic data in target enrichment phylogenomics (2019, background): “…and assembling difficulties stemming from both the AT-rich composition (Foster, Jermiin, & Hickey, 1997) and a high rate of mitochondrial genome rearrangements in hymenopter - ans (Dowton, Castro, & Austin, 2002) might explain the limited number of mitogenomes currently available for ants.”
A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of Diptera: whole genome sequence data accurately resolve relationships over broad timescales with high precision (2007, background): “…Orthoptera (Flook et al., 1995a) and Heterodoxus macropus, Phthiraptera (Shao et al., 2001) had gene order rearrangements relative to the inferred ancestral mt gene order, early efforts focused on the use of ‘genome morphology’ (Dowton et al., 2002) to resolve deep nodes in insect evolution.”
