Abstract:
The green sandpiper Tringa ochropus (Charadriiformes, Scolopacidae) is completely migratory with an extremely large distribution range. However, its habitat ecology, and disease spreading are relatively understudied, and the molecular genetics is relatively unclear. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of T. ochropus, which is a circular molecule of 16,906 bp in length and the A + T content of overall base of the composition of H-strand is 54.88% (A: 31.62%, T: 25.53%, C: 29.47%, G: 13.38%). This study strongly supports the monophyly of Charadriiformes, and division of the order into three major clades, including Lari, Scolopaci, and Charadrii.
