formerly referred to as the jungle crow or the large-billed crow is a polytypic species with unresolved taxonomy, comprising various subspecies widespread across South, Southeast, and East Asia. In this study, we report the complete mitogenome of one of these subspecies, (Himalaya crow), from Pakistan. The mitochondrial genome is circular, 16,927 bp and contains typical animal mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA) and one non-coding region (D-loop) with a nucleotide content of A (30.6%), T (24.8%), G (14.8%), and C (29.8%). Phylogenetic analysis using the whole mitochondrial genome showed that and only reported subspecies (Indian Jungle crow) are genetically distinct and it supports the recognition of the latter as a separate biospecies.
以前被称为丛林鸦或大嘴乌鸦,是一种分类尚未确定的多型物种,由分布在南亚、东南亚和东亚的各种亚种组成。在本研究中,我们报告了其中一个亚种(喜马拉雅鸦)来自巴基斯坦的完整线粒体基因组。线粒体基因组是环状的,16927bp,包含典型的动物线粒体基因(13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA和22个转运RNA)以及一个非编码区(D环),其核苷酸含量为A(占30.6%)、T(占24.8%)、G(占14.8%)和C(占29.8%)。使用整个线粒体基因组进行的系统发育分析表明,[物种名]和仅报道的亚种[亚种名](印度丛林鸦)在基因上是不同的,这支持将后者识别为一个单独的生物物种。
