This study, for the first time, assembled and characterised in detail the mitochondrial genome of this species that is in need of genomic resources. The mitogenome of Musonycteris harrisoni is 16,668 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a relatively long non-coding putative control region (CR) 1229 bp in length. Mitochondrial synteny is identical to that reported before in the family Phyllostomidae. As reported before in all phyllostomids, most mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand (H-strand), except for nad6 and eight tRNA genes that are encoded on the light strand (L-strand). All the tRNAs exhibit a ‘cloverleaf’ secondary structure, except tRNA Serine-1 that is missing the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm. All 13 mitochondrial PCGs are evolving under purifying selection, with atp8, nad4l and nad6 experiencing relaxed purifying selection in comparison to the other PCGs. Tandem repeats, microsatellites, and hairpin structures are observed in the CR of Musonycteris harrisoni, in agreement with what has been reported before in other cofamilial bats. The CR contains three functional domains: extended termination associated sequence (ETAS) domain, central domain, and conserved sequence block (CSB) domain. The mitochondrial genome sequence herein characterised completely and in detail represents a new genomic resource for M. harrisoni that will further the understanding of genetic diversity in this endangered species.","PeriodicalId":16568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural History","volume":"57 1","pages":"1206 - 1219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45767976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study formally tested whether complete mitochondrial genomes of R. diazi can be assembled from non-enriched metagenomic libraries generated from eDNA (field droppings) using Illumina 300 bp pair-end reads. Using a direct assembly strategy, the mitogenome of R. diazi was assembled and circularised using the pipeline GetOrganelle with a coverage of 18.5× from one eDNA sample. A second strategy in which reads were first mapped to a reference mitochondrial genome and then assembled using the software SPAdes retrieved a second nearly complete mitogenome (2.7×) of R. diazi from a second eDNA sample. Complete or nearly complete mitochondrial genomes were not retrieved from two other eDNA samples. The organisation of the complete or nearly complete mitochondrial genomes recovered from eDNA samples is identical to that already described for the studied species. A phylomitogenomic analysis based on all protein coding genes (PCGs) demonstrated that the mitochondrial genomes assembled from eDNA can and do reliably identify the sequenced samples as belonging to R. diazi and distinguished the same samples from closely and distantly related cofamilial species. This study demonstrates the feasibility of retrieving fully accurate whole and nearly complete mitochondrial chromosomes of host species from eDNA without enrichment strategies and using straightforward bioinformatics pipelines. This new genomic resource developed for R. diazi represents a new tool to boost conservation strategies (bioprospecting and/or biomonitoring) and improve our understanding of the evolutionary history of this endemic and endangered species.","PeriodicalId":16568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural History","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135860288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on their burrowing abilities, freshwater crayfish have been widely recognised as ecosystem engineers. Crayfishes construct burrows that range from simple, rudimentary depressions in aquatic systems, to complex, labyrinth-like terrestrial burrows that may be significant distances from permanent water bodies. Here, we investigate ecosystem engineering and burrowing of the slender crayfish, Faxonius compressus, which lives in lotic environments characterised by an abundance of small cobble- and gravel-sized substrates. Without larger substrates to burrow under, we found F. compressus populations construct extremely high densities of burrows across riffle, run and pool macrohabitats. Based on the average number of burrows, a 5 × 100 m pool is estimated to contain an average of 25,860 burrows. We also conducted behavioural observations of this species to glean information on their natural history. Faxonius compressus regularly inhabits and competes for ownership of burrows which serve as a shelter from predators. Importantly, these burrows are not only used by F. compressus; we documented other crayfishes and fish species utilising these burrows. In total, we documented two other crayfishes and six fish species utilising F. compressus burrows. We discuss the ecosystem engineering abilities of this species in relation to other crayfish and suggest future avenues of research to elucidate this species’ natural and life history.","PeriodicalId":16568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural History","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135860289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
