Complete mitochondrial genome of the greater Antillean parrot Amazona ventralis (Hispaniolan amazon).


ABSTRACT: Androglossini is one of the four tribes recognized within the group of neotropical parrots. The tribe includes 10 genera of which Amazona genus is presently represented by about 30 species. The number of species may increase in the future because paraphyly of some Amazona species was recently demonstrated and some subspecies were proposed to be elevated to the species rank. Evolutionary history of Amazona genus also remains unresolved because published phylogenies suggest contradictory scenarios concerning directions of islands-mainland colonization. Therefore, we sequenced mitogenome of Amazona ventralis from Greater Antilles to gain molecular data essential in future examination of this genus diversification.
