The complete mitochondrial genome of record-breaking migrant Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea)
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) base composition, codon usage, and genome arrangement patterns can provide insight into metabolic pathways and evolutionary history.

Population history, gene flow, and bottlenecks in island populations of a secondary seed disperser, the southern grey shrike (Lanius meridionalis koenigi) [PDF]
Studying the population history and demography of organisms with important ecological roles can aid understanding of evolutionary processes at the community level and inform conservation.

In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of an Australian little penguin (Eudyptula minor novaehollandia). The mitogenome sequence has been found to be circular, and 17,608 bp in length. Similar to other Spheniscidae species, the genome

The first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides)
Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides). The mitogenome of C. coronoides was characterised as a circular molecule of 16,925 bp in length encoding a typically conserved structure similar to those of ...

Does behavior reflect phylogeny in swiftlets (Aves: Apodidae)? A test using cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA sequences [PDF]
Swiftlets are small insectivorous birds, many of which nest in caves and are known to echolocate. Due to a lack of distinguishing morphological characters, the taxonomy of swiftlets is primarily based on the presence or absence of echolocating ability ...

Shedding the mitochondrial blinkers: A long-overdue challenge for species delimitation in herpetology [PDF]
The advent of molecular methods has revolutionised the field of species delimitation and description, one of the key tasks of systematic biology.

Discordance Between Mitochondrial and Nuclear Contact Zones Within Antelope Ground Squirrels (Ammospermophilus) [PDF]
A common biogeographic pattern found in many co-distributed species along the Baja California peninsula is the genetic divergence in the Vizcaíno Desert.
