Figure 8

Gene order of mitochondrial genomes from malacostracan crustaceans. All species with complete or almost complete mitochondrial genomes are listed. White colours indicate changes compared to the pancrustacean ground pattern. Numbers refer to different gene translocation events (compare Fig. 9), horizontal lines combine adjacent genes, which were probably subject to a joint translocation. NCR = major non-coding region, the putative mitochondrial control region. Asterisks indicate genes located on (-)-strand. Idotea baltica [GenBank:DQ442915]; Parhyale hawaiiensis [GenBank:AY639937]; Euphausia superba [GenBank: AB084378]; for all other GenBank accession numbers see supplementary Table 1.
