A novel mitochondrial gene order in shorebirds (Scolopacidae, Charadriiformes) [PDF]
Although the mitochondrial genome in birds has highly conserved features, with protein genes similar to mammals and amphibians, several variations in gene order around the hypervariable control region have been found.
