Abstract

Abstract: All the genes of Paradoxornis gularis and Niltava davidi complete mitochondrial genomes encoded on the H-strand, apart from one PCG (ND6) and eight tRNAs (tRNA Gln, tRNA Ala, tRNA Asn, tRNA Cys, tRNA Tyr, tRNA Ser(UCN), tRNA Pro, and tRNA Glu ). Strikingly large tandem repeats were found in the control region (CR) of P. gularis mitogenome. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that P. gularis possessed a basal phylogenetic position within the genus Paradoxornis, and N. davidi was more closely related to Cyanoptila cyanomelana than other Muscicapidae species.
