The first complete mitogenome of Australia’s largest raptor, the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In this paper, we report the genomic architecture of a complete mitogenome from a Wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax). The mitogenome sequence was circular, and 17,494 bp in length. Compared to other members of the family Accipitridae, the genome encoded a

Fine-scale population structure and asymmetrical dispersal in an obligate salt-marsh passerine, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus Caudacutus) [PDF]
, 2012 Understanding the spatial scale of gene flow can yield valuable insight into the ecology of an organism and guide conservation strategies. Fine-scale genetic structure is uncommon in migratory passerines because of their high vagility and presumed high ...

Does behavior reflect phylogeny in swiftlets (Aves: Apodidae)? A test using cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA sequences [PDF]
, 1996 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 ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an Australian raven (Corvus coronoides)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 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 ...

Are mutagenic non D-loop direct repeat motifs in mitochondrial DNA under a negative selection pressure? [PDF]
, 2017 Non D-loop direct repeats (DRs) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been commonly implicated in the mutagenesis of mtDNA deletions associated with neuromuscular disease and ageing.
