Abstract

Clam shrimps (Spinicaudata) are a widespread and diverse group of branchiopod crustaceans, yet few mitochondrial genomes have been published for this taxonmic group. Here, we present the first mitogenome of Leptestheria brevirostris from a rockpool ecosystem in Botswana. Massively parallel sequencing of a single specimen facilitated the reconstruction of the species’ 15,579 bp circularized mitogenome.
