First total mitogenome of synanthropic Ctenolepisma lineatum (Fabricius, 1775): Insights into the mitophylogeny of Zygentoma

Abstract

Zygentoma Börner, 1904 is an ancestral and species-poor insect order that includes several synanthropic taxa of ecological, economic, and public health importance. Despite this importance, knowledge of zygentoman distribution and diversity remains limited and geographically uneven, with available genetic data representing only a small portion of the order. In this study, a zygentoman specimen collected from Antalya, Türkiye, was examined using an integrative framework combining morphology, next-generation sequencing, complete mitochondrial genome characterization, total mitogenome and COX1 based phylogenetic reconstruction, and species delimitation methods to clarify the species identification. These analyses collectively supported the identification of the specimen as Ctenolepisma lineatum. The results confirm the occurrence of C. lineatum in Türkiye after a long period and emphasize the need for broader regional sampling and integrative taxonomic studies of the order, particularly in understudied regions. The newly generated mitogenome represents the first complete mitogenome of C. lineatum and shows the typical insect mitochondrial organization, consistent with the structurally conserved pattern observed in other zygentoman mitogenomes. However, despite this conserved mitogenomic structure, phylogenetic analyses revealed several polyphyletic genera, subfamilies and families, suggesting that current sampling remains insufficient to resolve phylogenetic relationships within the order and that some available records may require taxonomic reassessment.

Sinantropik Ctenolepisma lineatum’un (Fabricius, 1775) ilk total mitogenomu: Zygentoma’nın mitofilogenisine ilişkin değerlendirmeler

Abstract

Zygentoma Börner, 1904, ekoloji, ekonomi ve halk sağlığı açısından önem taşıyan farklı sinantropik taksonları içeren, atasal ve tür çeşitliliği görece düşük bir böcek takımıdır. Bu önemine karşın, Zygentoma türlerinin dağılımı ve çeşitliliğine ilişkin bilgiler halen sınırlı ve coğrafi olarak dengesizdir, mevcut genetik veriler ise takımın yalnızca küçük bir bölümünü temsil etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Antalya, Türkiye’den toplanan bir Zygentoma örneğinin tür teşhisi, morfoloji, yeni nesil dizileme, total mitokondriyal genom karakterizasyonu, total mitogenom ve COX1 temelli filogenetik analizler ile tür sınırları test yöntemleri kullanılarak netleştirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler, toplanan örneğin Ctenolepisma lineatum olarak tanımlanmasını desteklemiştir. Sonuçlar, C. lineatum’un Türkiye’deki kaydını onaylamakla birlikte, özellikle az çalışılmış bölgelerde daha kapsamlı bölgesel örnekleme ile bütünleşik taksonomik revizyonların gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışmada ilk defa elde edilen C. lineatum total mitogenomu, diğer Zygentoma mitogenomlarında gözlenen yapısal olarak korunmuş örüntüyle uyumlu, tipik böcek mitokondriyal organizasyonuna sahiptir. Bununla birlikte, bu korunmuş yapıya karşın, filogenetik analizlerde bazı cins, altfamilya ve familyaların polifiletik olarak çıkması, mevcut örneklemenin, takım içindeki filogenetik ilişkileri çözümlemek için hâlen yetersiz olduğunu ve bazı kayıtların taksonomik olarak yeniden değerlendirilmesi gerekebileceğini göstermektedir.
