Abstract:
We reported the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of bronze-winged jacana (Metopidius indicus, Latham 1790). The circular mitogenome was 17,208 base pairs (bp) in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a non-coding control region. A DNA spacer 109 bp long was also detected between ND5 and Cytb. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that M. indicus was more closely related with the genera Himantopus, Jacana and Hydrophasianus. This annotated mitogenome reference can be utilized as a data resource for comparative mitogenomics of waders or shorebirds, with possible use in ecological and evolutionary studies.
