Abstract

Tringa totanus is declining throughout Europe and performing protection in China. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome using PCR method. It is the first published complete mitochondrial genome of T. tetanus, which is a circular molecule of 16,818 bp, and it contains 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA, and two rRNA. The phylogenetic tree was constructed to validate the taxonomic status of T. totanus, exhibiting it a closer relationship to T. glareola.

Keywords: Common redshank; Tringa tetanus; complete mitochondrial genome.
