Accurate species delimitation is fundamental for many fields of biology. Although a wide range of evolutionary-biological patterns are known to promote failure in species delimitation when any single information source is considered, the majority of species characterisations are still based on single disciplines. Using Alpine jumping bristletails we here showcase the establishment of morphological and molecular tools for multi-source species delimitation in a taxonomically problematic arthropod group and stress its advantages over single-discipline approaches. Once sound species delimitations have been achieved, Alpine jumping bristletails will be available as a prime model system for addressing questions related to the emergence of endemism and parthenogenesis.

Petrobius brevistylis

has been determined. The genome

is 15 698 bp long and bears the standard set of genes

common to all arthropods as well as a major non-coding

A + T-rich region, the putative mitochondrial control

region. A unique gene order was revealed as it differs

from other hexapod and crustacean mitochondrial

genomes in the position of tRNA-Tyr. Genome features

like nucleotide composition and codon usage are compared

with that of other insect taxa. A + T content is similar

in species of Archaeognatha and Zygentoma, but

obviously lower than in Collembola and Pterygota. This

A + T bias significantly affects also amino acid frequencies

and may be a problem for phylogenetic analyses.}, keywords = {apterygote
