Assembly of Mitochondrial Genome of Oriental Plover (<i>Anarhynchus veredus</i>) and Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Charadriidae.

ABSTRACT: Background: Traditional morphology-based classification of the Oriental Plover (Anarhynchus veredus) is inconsistent with molecular evidence, underscoring the necessity of incorporating molecular data to elucidate its evolutionary relationships within Charadriidae. Methods: Here, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome of A. veredus by Illumina NovaSeq Sequencing and explore its evolutionary implications within Charadriidae. Results: The mitogenome spans 16,886 bp and exhibits conserved structural features typical of Charadriidae, including gene order, overlapping coding regions, and intergenic spacers. Nucleotide composition analysis revealed a GC content of 44.3%, aligning with other Charadriidae species (44.5-45.8%), and hierarchical GC dist
