1. Complete mitochondrial genomes from four subspecies of common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs): New inferences about mitochondrial rate heterogeneity, neutral theory, and phylogenetic relationships within the order Passeriformes

Subject:
Carduelis; Emberiza; NADH dehydrogenase; Paridae; birds; fish; genes; genetic variation; humans; mitochondrial DNA; nucleotide sequences; paraphyly
Abstract:
... We describe whole mitochondrial genome sequences from four subspecies of the common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), and compare them to 31 publicly available mitochondrial genome sequences from other Passeriformes. Rates and patterns of mitochondrial gene evolution are analyzed at different taxonomic levels within this avian order, and evidence is adduced for and against the nearly neutral theory o ...

Emberiza; amino acids; birds; cortex; genes; hippocampus; immunocytochemistry; in situ hybridization; messenger RNA; migratory behavior; neuropeptide Y; olfactory bulb; reproduction; signal peptide
Abstract:
... This study investigated the distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the brain of the night-migratory redheaded bunting (Emberiza bruniceps). We first cloned the 275-bp NPY gene in buntings, with ≥95 % homology with known sequences from other birds. The deduced peptide sequence contained all conserved 36 amino acids chain of the mature NPY peptide, but lacked 6 amino acids that form the NPY signal ...

Subject:
Emberiza; birds; genes; mitochondrial genome; monophyly; nucleotide sequences; ribosomal RNA; transfer RNA
Abstract:
... Mitochondrial genomes have proved to be powerful tools in resolving phylogenetic relationships. Emberiza chrysophrys (least concern species: IUCN 2013) is a passerine bird in the bunting family, Emberizidae. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. chrysophrys was sequenced. This circular mitochondrial genome was 16,803 bp in length, with an A+T content of 52.26%, containing 13 protein-coding genes ...

Carduelis; Emberiza; Muscicapidae; Paridae; birds; genes; mitochondrial DNA; mitochondrial genome; monophyly; paraphyly; ribosomal RNA; transfer RNA
Abstract:
... Passeriformes is the largest group within aves and the phylogenetic relationships between Passeriformes have caused major disagreement in ornithology. Particularly, the phylogenetic relationships between muscicapoidea and sylvioidea are complex, and their taxonomic boundaries have not been clearly defined. Our aim was to study the status of two bird species: Tarsiger cyanurus and Phoenicurus auror ...
