The grasshopper Uvaroviola multispinosa (Acrididae: Oedipodinae), is an agricultural pest to pasture and limitedly distributed in Qinghai-Tibet plateau of China. The complete mitochondrial genome of U. multispinosa is 15,620 bp long, which comprises of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and a putative non-coding control region (GenBank accession ID: MK829651). These genes are unequally distributed on different DNA chains, which 23 are located on the majority Chain. The nucleotide composition shows evidently bias (A, C, G, and T was 43.8, 14.8, 10.1, and 31.3%, respectively) with an overall AT content of 75.2%. All PCGs are initiated by ATN codons, among them ATG is the most preferred. Eleven PCGs use a common stop codon of TAA or TAG, whereas the remaining two were terminated with single T as incomplete stop codon. The phylogenetic relationships based on Bayes method showed that U. multispinosa is closely related to Compsorhipis davidiana, which is in accordance with its traditional morphological classification.

Based on whole-genome Illumina sequencing data, the complete mitogenome of the Asiatic SalamanderBatrachuperus tibetanuswas reconstructed and characterized. The circular genome is 16,375 bp in length, and typically consists of 37 genes, including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. Coding genes (PCGs, tRNAs & rRNAs) pieces is 15,460 bp in length, accounting for 94.41% of the total length of genome. The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (34.1% A, 19.5% C, 13.7% G, 32.7% T) with an overall GC content of 33.2%. Comparing our research data with predecessors' previous work, significant changes was found with 94.0% of whole genome sequence consistency percentage (Pairwise % Identity). We suggest our data would contribute to the evolutionary studies of this and related Asiatic Salamanders species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitogenome of the geophilous grasshopperTrilophidia annulatawas reconstructed from whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. After annotation, the circular genome was obtained with 16,501 bp in length, and typically consisted of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. All PCGs were initiated with ATN codons, except ND2 with the start codon GTG. Most of the PCGs used TAA as their stop codons, while the others used TAG as stop codons (COX1, COX3&ND1). The nucleotide composition was asymmetric (42.3% A, 15.0% C, 11.0% G, 31.8% T) with an overall GC content of 25.9%. These data would contribute to the design of novel molecular markers for population and evolutionary research ofT. annulata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The whole-genome Illumina sequence of the Chinese endemic grasshopperFruhstorferiola kulingamitogenome was constructed and reported in this study. In all, the circular genome was obtained with 15,655 bp in length and contains 75.4% A + T. It typically consists of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. All PCGs are initiated with ATN codons. Most of the PCGs use TAA as their stop codons, while the others use TAG as stop codons (COX1andND1). The size of the large and small ribosomal RNA genes are 1314 bp and 851 bp. The A + T-rich region (777 bp) showed strong resemblance to the other known Orthoptera insects. Our data would contribute to confirm the close relationship and other evolutionary researches of theF. kulinga. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitogenome ofOxya intricate(Stål.) has been reconstructed from whole-genome Illumina sequencing data with an average coverage of 294×. The circular genome is 15,466 bp in length, and consists of 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. All PCGs are initiated with ATN codons, and are terminated with TAR codons except for ND5 with the incomplete stop codon T. The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (42.5%A, 14.6%C, 10.6%G, 32.3%T) with an overall GC content of 25.2%. These data would contribute to the design of novel molecular markers for population and evolutionary studies of this and related orthopteran species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• This study examines customer co-creation value in Chinese short-video platform industry. • This research reveals the relationship between customer co-creation value and electronic word-of-mouth. • Customer-based brand equity are mediator in relationship between customer co-creation value and electronic word-of-mouth. • Psychological ownership mediates the relationship between customer co-creation value and electronic word-of-mouth. The short-video platform industry is a relatively new global industry with a considerable number of users attracted by electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). User-generated content, which is a form of customer co-creation value (CCCV), is considered as the essence of short-video platforms. This study investigated the effects of CCCV on psychological ownership, customer-based brand equity, and eWOM in relation to short-video platforms. Examination of 337 users on Chinese short-video platforms revealed the underlying mechanism of the shift from CCCV to eWOM in the short-video platform industry by identifying the direct, indirect, and total effects of four research constructs. This study demonstrated that a well-designed co-creation value strategy is a potent reflection of a platform's customers that enhances CCCV for short-video platforms and transforms customers into intangible assets for eWOM.
