Abstract
A complete mitochondrial genome of Great Knot (Calidris tenuirostris), MK992912, was published by He and colleagues in 2020. Here we show that this mitogenome is actually a chimera containing DNA fragments of both C. tenuirostris (15,567 bp, 92.8%) and Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva, 1208 bp, 7.2%). Detecting such errors is possible before publication if each sequenced fragment is separately analyzed phylogenetically before assembling the fragments into a single mitogenome. This mitogenome has been re-used in at least four phylogenies. The error is documented to avoid the perpetuation of erroneous sequence information in the literature.

Abstract
Chrysolophus amherstiae and Chrysolophus pictus are two related species of Chrysolophus. Understanding the differences in their mitochondrial genome structure is of great significance for studying their phylogenetic relationship. In this study, the full mitochondrial genome of C. amherstiae was sequenced and annotated and analyzed with C. pictus to reveal their structural differences. At the same time, the phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the BI and ML methods with other species of the same family to analyze the phylogenetic relationship of Phasianidae. The results showed that the basic characteristics of mitochondrial genomes of C. amherstiae and C. pictus were similar. By comparing the secondary structures of rRNA and the relative synonymous codon usage of protein-coding genes, the subtle differences of mitochondrial structures between the two were further demonstrated.

Abstract
The complete mitogenome sequence of the brown-headed gull, Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus was determined in this study. The 16,771 bp genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a control region (CR). The decoded mitogenome was AT-rich (54.77%) with nine overlapping and 17 intergenic spacer regions. Most of the PCGs were started by a typical ATG initiation codon except for cox1 and nad3. Further, the usual termination codons (AGG, TAG, TAA, and AGA) were used by 11 PCGs except for cox3 and nad4. The concatenated PCGs based Bayesian phylogeny clearly discriminates all the Laridae species and reflects the sister relationship of C. brunnicephalus with C. ridibundus. The present mitogenome-based phylogeny was congruent with the earlier hypothesis and confirmed the evolutionary position of the brown-headed gull as masked species. The generated mitogenome of C. brunnicephalus is almost identical to the previously generated mitogenome from China except for two base pairs in CR. To visualize the population structure of this migratory species, we propose more sampling from different geographical locations and the generation of additional molecular data to clarify the reality.

Abstract
Recurvirostridae is a family of Charadriiformes that displays an amazing amount of characterization at evolutionary level. The mitogenomes of Himantopus himantopus and Recurvirostra avosetta are 17,378 bp and 16,856 bp in size, respectively. Both two mitogenomes reveal the same gene order and genomic organization to that of typical avian mtDNA. The first conserved block with two interrupted poly-C and four long terminal repeats with 140 bp are present in H. himantopus control region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Recurvirostridae (H. himantopus and R. avosetta) has the closest relationship with Haematopodidae. We supported that Stercorariidea is a sister group to (Alcidae (Laridae, Sternidae)), and suggested that the status of Larus vegae should be further investigated.

Abstract
The complete mitogenome of Chroicocephalus saundersi was characterized and compared with the 6 published Charadriiformes mitogenomes. The mitogenome of C. saundersi is a closed circular molecule 16,739 bp in size, and contains 37 genes and a control region. The AT and GC skews are positive and negative, respectively, and in agreement with those of the other Charadriiformes mitogenomes. The mitogenome of C. saundersi contains 3 start codons (ATG, GTG, and ATT), 4 stop codons (TAA, TAG, AGG, and AGA), and an incomplete stop codon (T-) in 13 PCGs. A codon usage analysis of all available Charadriiformes mitogenomes showed that the ATG (78%) and TAA (50.5%) were the most common start codon and stop codon, respectively. An unusual start codon, ATT, is commonly found in the ND3s of Charadriiformes mitogenomes, whereas the more common start codons, ATC and ATA, are rarely found. In all the Laridae species, one extra cytosine was inserted at position 174 in ND3. The control region of C. saundersi is 1180-bp long, with a nucleotide composition of 30.2% A, 28.6% T, 27.3% C, and 14.0% G. Variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) with nine copies of the 10 bp repeat sequence (AACAACAAAC) are found within the CSB domain of the control region. The ML/BI analyses, based on the amino acids of the 13 mitochondrial PCGs, strongly support the monophyly of the order Charadriiformes, with the suborder Lari considered sister to the Scolopaci, which is in turn a sister group to the suborder Charadrii.

Abstract
The structure of the mitochondrial DNA control region in the Relict Gull (Larus relictus) was predicted and compared with data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on five other gulls. The results showed that the control regions of the six gulls comprise three domains. Sequences of CSB-1-like (domain I) and CSB-1 (domain III) in L. relictus have the highest similarity with those in the other five gulls. The insertion fragments are located in downstream domain I of L. ridibundus, L. brunnicephalus, and L. saundersi. Seven conserved sequence boxes (additional box, F-box, E-box, D-box, C-box, bird-similarity-box, and B-box) are located in domain II in all six gulls. It is suggested that the CSB-2/3 sequence, the origin of H-strand replication, and bidirectional light- and heavy-strand transcription promoters in domain III of L. relictus have some distinguishing features to those of other gulls. Some repeat units are contained in the 3' end of the control region in the five gulls; however, no repeat units are found in the sequence CAAACAACAAA in L. relictus. The distribution of nucleotide diversity analysis will provide the useful information on the selected DNA fragment within the control region for genetic analyses among gulls.

Abstract
The genetic diversity and the population history of the Relict Gull (Larus relictus) were studied based on the sequences of two mitochondrial genes (Cyt b and ND2) and one nuclear gene (the third intron of the Z-linked muscle-specific kinase gene [MUSK]) from 47 individuals. The results showed that the population expresses very low genetic diversity while lacking large geographical population. Demographic history analysis suggested that population expansion might have been recent and that the average estimated expansion time of L. relictus is from 0.09 to 0.23 Ma BP. Whether the other three breeding subpopulations are involved in the Ordos breeding subpopulation, require further study with more effective molecular markers. The species is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and actions to protect it are suggested to improve the population fragmentation of breeding.

Abstract
In this study, both long PCR and conserved primers walking sequencing methods were used to determine the complete sequence of the of Pyrgilauda ruficollis mitochondrial genome (KC836121). The results showed that the complete mitochondrial genome of P. ruficollis is 1 6909 bp in length with 55.0% A+T content, harboring the typical 37 genes. The mitogenome had the same gene order with that of Podoces hendersoni. All protein coding genes started with ATG codon, except ND3 with GTG. For the stop codon usage, most genes terminate with codons TAA or TAG, but ND5 terminated with AGA, while ND1 and COI genes with AGG, and both the genes COⅢ and ND4 have an incomplete termination codon (T). The secondary structures of 22 tRNA genes were also predicted, showing that all tRNAs can form typical clover-leaf secondary structures, except for the tRNA(Ser) (AGN) which loses the DHU arm, while tRNA(Phe) harbor an extra nucleotide inserted in the TψC arm. The predicted secondary structures of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA exhibit 47 helices in 4 domains and 60 helices in 6 domains respectively. The control region of P. ruficollis with the length of 1 305 bp was located between tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Phe), and typical domains of which could be found as other bird groups. Using the data from 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes, results of a final phylogenetic analysis strongly supports the traditional view that P. ruficollis is closely related with Passeridae and Fringillidae.

Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Larus relictus was 16,586-bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. Most PCGs begin with the typical ATN start codon with the exception of COI and ND5 genes, which use GTG as the initiation codon. Stop codons AGG, TAG, TAA and AGA are present in the PCGs; exceptions are COIII and ND4, which possess incomplete termination codons (T), and ND3, in which one extra C nucleotide is found. Secondary structure prediction of the 22 tRNA genes revealed the absence of the DHU arm in tRNA(Ser)((AGN)). Seven conserved sequence box elements, as well as the origin of H-strand replication (OH) and bidirectional light- and heavy-strand transcription promoters (LSP/HSP), are found in control region.
