Complete mitochondrial genome of bronze-winged parrot (Pionus chalcopterus chalcopterus, Psittaciformes).


ABSTRACT: Medium-sized neotropical parrots from Pionus genus are represented by at least eight species. However, their taxonomy should be revised because some external morphological characters together with genetic data recognize 19 taxa. At present, only two mitochondrial markers are available for most of these taxa and obtained phylogenies are not well resolved. Therefore, we sequenced Pionus chalcopterus chalcopterus mitogenome to gain more molecular data required for future studies of the taxonomical status and phylogenetic relationships between Pionus taxa. Performed phylogenetic analyses showed seven monophyletic clades including at least two sequences assigned to one species. However, not all subspecies sequences were monophyletic.
