The phylogeny of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae) inferred from mitochondrial genomes

The high‐level classification of Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) currently recognizes 12 or 13 well‐established subfamilies, but the phylogenetic relationships among them remain ambiguous. Full mitochondrial genomes were newly generated for 27 taxa and combined with existing GenBank data to provide a dataset of 108 mitochondrial genomes covering all subfamilies. Phylogenetic analysis under maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference recovered the...
