The complete mitochondrial genome of Pheidole nodus (Smith, 1874) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Issue 3 (4th March 2022) - Sang, Yu
Abstract: Pheidole nodus (Smith, 1874) belongs to a famously hyperdiverse and ecologically dominant ant genus. The mitochondrial genome of P. nodus is 15, 579 bp in length, and the overall base composition is 78.6% AT. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic trees show that P. nodus is more closely related to Wasmannia than to Atta . These sequence data will play an important role in the investigation of the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of the group Attini.
