The Genetic Diversity in Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae) and the Phylogenetic Relationship of Scutigeromorpha Using the Mitochondrial Genome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Based on morphological characteristics to make species identification, the cryptic species of the Scutigeromorpha can be greatly underestimated. The mitochondrial genome provides a desirable tool for the biological identifications and the discovery of the cryptic species. The capacity to acquire mitochondrial genome sequences has substantially improved in recent years using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. On the basis of the next-generation sequencing, we obtained four complete mitochondrial genomes of Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) from Nanyang, Henan Province (NY), Nanchang, Jiangxi Province (NC), Jinan, Shandong Province (JN), and Dali, Yunnan Province (DL) in China with GenBank numbers OK513221, OL449685, ON058988 and ON058989, respectively. The lengths of the four mitochondrial genomes ranged from 14,903 to 14,909 bp. The composition and order of genes of the four mitochondrial genomes were identical to the published mitochondrial genome of Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigerdae). It was the first time that the tandem repeats in the control region were detected in Scutigeromorpha. We also calculated the corrected pairwise genetic distance of four complete mitochondrial genomes of T. tuberculata, ranging from 7.7 to 15.2%. The results showed that the T.tuberculata NC belonged to the typical sample of T. tuberculata, and T. tuberculata DL was hypothesized as a cryptic species of T. tuberculata. Meanwhile, T. tuberculata NY and T. tuberculata JN were hypothesized as potential cryptic species of T. tuberculata in this study. In both BI and ML trees, the monophyly of Scutigeromorpha, Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha, and Lithobiomorpha was forcefully advocated. Moreover, Scutigeromorpha was recovered as the sister clade of (Scolopendromorpha + (Lithobiomorpha + Geophilomorpha)). Four specimens of T. tuberculata were clustered into one clade, which was the sister to the clade of S. coleoptrata.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
