Characterization of 15 Earthworm Mitogenomes from Northeast China and Its Phylogenetic Implication (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae, Moniligastridae)

Earthworms are an important ecological group, especially in agricultural regions Northeast China. However, fewer studies focus on this group of organisms compared with other faunal groups. Here, we sequenced 15 new mitogenomes Aporrectodea tuberculata Eisen, 1874, A. trapezoides Duges, 1828, Eisenia nordenskioldi 1878 and Drawida ghilarovi Gates, 1969 China using a high-throughput sequencing platform. These incomplete linear double-stranded vary from 14,998 bp to 16,123 size include 37 genes putative control region. Intraspecific genetic divergence was quantified the lumbricid species, region D. reported for first time by comparison congeners. Phylogenetic analysis based coding ribosomal DNA datasets BI ML inferences showed non-monophyly polyphyly E. nordenskioldi. Future works should examine taxonomy, phylogeny population genetics not only Lumbricidae but also earthworm families global scale mitogenomic nuclear data.
