Genet Mol Biol 2020; 43:e20190392.

Abstract
Coraciiformes contains more than 200 species with great differences on external
morphology and life-style. The evolutionary relationships within Coraciiformes
and the phylogenetic placement of Coraciiformes in Aves are still questioned.
Mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences are popular markers in molecular
phylogenetic studies of birds. This study presented the genome characteristics
of three new mitogenomes in Coraciiformes and explored the phylogenetic
relationships among Coraciiformes and other five related orders with mitogenome
data of 30 species. The sizes of three mitogenomes were 17,383 bp
(Alcedo atthis), 17,892 bp (Halcyon
smyrnensis) and 17,223 bp (Megaceryle lugubris).
Each mitogenome contained one control region and 37 genes that were common in
vertebrate mitogenomes. The organization of three mitogenomes was identical to
the putative ancestral gene order in Aves. Among 13 available Coraciiform
mitogenomes, 12 protein coding genes showed indications of negative selection,
while the MT-ND6 presented sign of positive selection or relaxed purifying
selection. The phylogenetic results supported that Upupidae and Bucerotidae
should be separated from Coraciiformes, and that Coraciiformes is more closely
related to Piciformes than to Strigiformes, Trogoniformes and Cuculiformes. Our
study provide valuable data for further phylogenetic investigation of
Coraciiformes.

Turdoides affinis mitogenome reveals the translational efficiency and importance of NADH dehydrogenase complex-I in the Leiothrichidae family. Sci Rep 2020; 10:16202.

Abstract
Mitochondrial genome provides useful information about species concerning its evolution and phylogenetics. We have taken the advantage of high throughput next-generation sequencing technique to sequence the complete mitogenome of Yellow-billed babbler (Turdoides affinis), a species endemic to Peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Both, reference-based and de-novo assemblies of mitogenome were performed and observed that de-novo assembled mitogenome was most appropriate. The complete mitogenome of yellow-billed babbler (assembled de-novo) was 17,672 bp in length with 53.2% AT composition. Thirteen protein-coding genes along with two rRNAs and 22 tRNAs were detected. The arrangement pattern of these genes was found conserved among Leiothrichidae family mitogenomes. Duplicated control regions were found in the newly sequenced mitogenome. Downstream bioinformatics analysis revealed the effect of translational efficiency and purifying selection pressure over thirteen protein-coding genes in yellow-billed babbler mitogenome. Ka/Ks analysis indicated the highest synonymous substitution rate in the nad6 gene. Evolutionary analysis revealed the conserved nature of all the protein-coding genes across Leiothrichidae family mitogenomes. Our limited phylogeny results placed T. affinis in a separate group, a sister group of Garrulax. Overall, our results provide a useful information for future studies on the evolutionary and adaptive mechanisms of birds belong to the Leiothrichidae family.

Two mitochondrial genomes in Alcedinidae (Ceryle rudis/Halcyon pileata) and the phylogenetic placement of Coraciiformes. Genetica 2017; 145:431-440. [PMID: 28791584 DOI: 10.1007/s10709-017-9978-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2017] [Accepted: 08/03/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Coraciiformes comprises 209 species belonging to ten families with significant divergence on external morphologies and life styles. The phylogenetic placement of Coraciiformes was still in debate. Here, we determined the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Crested Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) and Black-capped Kingfisher (Halcyon pileata). The mitogenomes were 17,355 bp (C. rudis) and 17,612 bp (H. pileata) in length, and both of them contained 37 genes (two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 13 protein-coding genes) and one control region. The gene organizations and characters of two mitogenomes were similar with those of other mitogenomes in Coraciiformes, however the sizes and nucleotide composition of control regions in different mitogenomes were significantly different. Phylogenetic trees were constructed with both Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood methods based on mitogenome sequences from 11 families of six orders. The trees based on two different data sets supported the basal position of Psittacidae (Psittaciformes), the closest relationship between Cuculiformes (Cuculidae) and Trogoniformes (Trogonidae), and the close relationship between Coraciiformes and Piciformes. The phylogenetic placement of the clade including Cuculiformes and Trogoniformes has not been resolved in present study, which need further investigations with more molecular markers and species. The mitogenome sequences presented here provided valuable data for further taxonomic studies on Coraciiformes and other related groups.
