Figure 3.

Comparison of mitochondrial gene arrangements in 12 species in the order Isopoda. In addition, the pancrustacean ground pattern (putative ancestral state) is provided. The mt complete genomes of Bathynomus sp., Limnoria quadripunctata, Ligia oceanica, and Eophreatoicus sp.‐14 are available; the other mt genomes are incomplete and are missing some tRNAs and the control region (CR). All tRNAs are designated by single letters (except L1, L2, S1, and S2 for trnL‐CUN, trnL‐UUR, trnS‐AGN, and trnS‐UCN, respectively). Colored genes denote translocated genes in comparison with the pancrustacean ground pattern. Red indicates genes that share a derived position in isopods. Uniquely derived gene positions of individual species are depicted in yellow
