Five new mitogenomes sequences of Calidridine sandpipers (Aves: Charadriiformes) and comparative mitogenomics of genus Calidris.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genus Calidris (Charadriiformes, Scolopacidae) includes shorebirds known as dunlin, knots, and sanderlings. The relationships between species nested within Calidris, including Eurynorynchus, Limicola and Aphriza, are not well-resolved.

Methods

Samples were collected from Xiaoyangkou, Rudong County, Jiangsu Province, China. Mitogenomes were sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform for PE 2 × 150 bp sequencing, and then checked for PCR products. Protein-coding genes were determined using an Open Reading Frame Finder. tRNAscan-SE, MITOS, and ARWEN were used to confirm tRNA and rRNA annotations. Bioinformatic analyses were conducted using DnaSP 5.1 and MEGA X. Phylogenic trees were constructed using maximum likelihood a
