The stomatopods (Stomatopoda) genome sequencing
The stomatopods (Stomatopoda) constitute a large group of marine benthic crustaceans, with mantis shrimp being the common name for all extant species within this order. While nearly 500 mantis shrimp species are currently recorded globally, the phylogenetic relationships and validity of many remain contentious due to the limitations of morphological classification. Mitochondrial genomes hold significant importance for understanding the evolution and phylogenetic relationships within this group. In this study, we assembled complete mitochondrial genomes from 26 individuals representing 21 species.
