Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Numenius madagascariensis Linnaeus, 1766 was sequenced in this study. The circular mitogenomes was 17,147 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes, and a D-loop region. The overall nucleotide composition was A: 31.0%, T: 25.6%, C: 29.5%, and G: 13.9%. Twenty-eight genes were encoded on the heavy strand, while the remaining nine genes were encoded on the light strand. The common start codon was ATG, and three stop codons and an incomplete stop codon (T-) were used in PCGs. This study improves our comprehension of the mitogenomic characteristics and its phylogenetic relationships within Scolopacidae.
