Phylogenetic analyses to uncover the evolutionary relationship of a newly sequenced mitochondrial genome from an Eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The Eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris), a passerine bird in the family Meliphagidae (honeyeaters), a dominant group of birds in Australia and New Guinea. The aim of this study was to sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of the Eastern

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

Characterization of the first mitochondrial genome of a little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea) and its phylogenetic implications

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
This study was designed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from a little corella (Cacatua sanguinea). The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,695 bp in length.

Diversity, abundance, and host relationships of avian malaria and related haemosporidians in New Mexico pine forests [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites (genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon) affect bird demography, species range limits, and community structure, yet they remain unsurveyed in most bird communities and populations.

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...

The first complete mitogenome of Indian ringneck (Psittacula krameri) demonstrates close phylogenetic relationship with Eclectus parrot

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
This study was aimed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from an Indian ringneck parrot (Psittacula krameri). The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,413 bp in length. In comparison to other available mitogenome sequences belonging to

Search for virus specific DNA sequences and viral particles in mitochondria of avian leukemic myeloblasts [PDF]

, 1977
The intracellular localization of the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) genome was studied. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNAs from myeloblasts were examined by hybridization with 32P labeled AMV-RNA of high molecular weight for the presence of virus specific
