Abstract:
The Common Koel Eudynamys scolopaceus Linnaeus 1758, belongs to the family Cuculidae and order Cuculiformes. This omnivorous bird exhibits obligate nest parasitism. Here, the complete mitogenome of E. scolopaceus was determined and phylogenetically compared with those of other Cuculidae species. The newly sequenced complete mitogenome was a circular DNA molecule with a size of 17,610 bp (OM115963). This mitogenome had a higher A + T content (57.58%) than G + C content (42.42%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that E. scolopaceus was most closely related to Eudynamys taitensis and the genus Cuculus, providing useful molecular information for further research on the phylogeny of the family Cuculidae.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
