Phylogeography, genetic structure and diversity in the endangered bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus, L.) as revealed by mitochondrial DNA
Bearded vulture populations in the Western Palearctic have experienced a severe decline
during the last two centuries that has led to the near extinction of the species in Europe. In …

Resolving phylogenetic relationships within Passeriformes based on mitochondrial genes and inferring the evolution of their mitogenomes in terms of duplications
Mitochondrial genes are placed on one molecule, which implies that they should carry
consistent phylogenetic information. Following this advantage, we present a well-supported …

New view on the organization and evolution of Palaeognathae mitogenomes poses the question on the ancestral gene rearrangement in Aves
Background Bird mitogenomes differ from other vertebrates in gene rearrangement. The
most common avian gene order, identified first in Gallus gallus, is considered ancestral for …
