| detection of an endangered aquatic heteropteran using environmental dna in a wetland ecosystem. | the use of environmental dna (edna) has recently been employed to evaluate the distribution of various aquatic macroorganisms. although this technique has been applied to a broad range of taxa, from vertebrates to invertebrates, its application is limited for aquatic insects such as aquatic heteropterans. nepa hoffmanni (heteroptera: nepidae) is a small (approx. 23 mm) aquatic heteropteran that inhabits wetlands, can be difficult to capture and is endangered in japan. the molecular tool edna was ... | 2017 | 28791177 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of nepa hoffmanni (hemiptera: heteroptera: nepidae). | the complete mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) of nepa hoffmanni has been reported in this study. this mitochondrial genome is 15 774 bp long, with an a + t content of 72.04%, containing the typical 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes (pcgs), 22 transfer rna genes, and two ribosomal rna genes) and a control region. all genes are arranged in the same gene order as most other known heteropteran mt-genome. this is the second completely sequenced mt-genome from the family nepidae of nepomorpha. bayesia ... | 2016 | 26403708 |
