Abstract

The Lesser Sand-Plover (Charadrius mongolus atrifrons) is a small shorebird in Charadriiformes. Here we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of C. m. atrifrons (Aves: Charadriiformes) which is 16,919 bp in length and consisting of 13 protein-coding (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA and 1 control region. The overall A + T content of was 55.5%. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree based on the 12 concatenated mitochondrial protein-coding genes (except ND6 gene) placed C. m. atrifrons in a clade with C. alexandrines but separate from C. vociferus.

摘要

小沙鸻 ( Charadrius mongolus atrifrons ) 是一种小型水鸟在 Charadriiformes。在这里，我们组装了C. m.的完整线粒体基因组。atrifrons (Aves: Charadriiformes) 长度为 16,919 bp，由 13 个蛋白质编码 (PCG)、2 ​​个核糖体 RNA、22 个转移 RNA 和 1 个控制区域组成。的总A+T含量为55.5%。基于 12 个串联线粒体蛋白编码基因（ND6 基因除外）的最大似然 (ML) 树将C. m. atrifrons在与C. alexandrines的进化枝中，但与C. vociferus分开。
