Figure 6. Schematic illustration of each event for mitochondrial gene rearrangement in C. fletcheri.

Gene sizes are not drawn to scale. Gene names that are not underlined indicate a forward transcriptional direction, whereas underlines indicate a reverse transcriptional direction. tRNA genes are abbreviated using the one-letter amino acid code, with L*  =  trnL(UUR); S  =  trnS(AGN). White boxes represent genes with the same relative position as in the ancestral insect arrangement pattern. Yellow boxes represent gene translocations; red boxes represent gene inversions; green boxes represent gene shuffling with remote inversions compared to the ancestral insect arrangement. The grey boxes represent gene deletions. The remaining genes and gene orders identical to the ancestral insect are omitted. Each rearrangement event was independent, so there is no way of determining the order of event.
