The White-bellied Heron is Critically Endangered wading bird. In this study, we first sequenced and described the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of . The whole genome of was 18,656 bp in length and contained 14 protein-coding genes, 23 transfer RNA genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and two non-coding control regions. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was 30.86% for A, 24.60% for T, 30.48% for C, and 14.05% for G, with a GC content of 44.54%. A phylogenetic tree confirmed that belonged to genus , family Ardeidae, and was sister to . This information will be useful in the current understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of Pelecaniformes.
白腹鹭是极度濒危的涉禽。在本研究中,我们首次对白腹鹭的线粒体全基因组进行了测序和描述,并分析了其系统发育。白腹鹭的全基因组长度为18,656 bp,包含14个蛋白质编码基因、23个转运RNA基因、两个核糖体RNA基因和两个非编码控制区。线粒体DNA的总体碱基组成为:A占30.86%,T占24.60%,C占30.48%,G占14.05%,GC含量为44.54%。系统发育树证实,白腹鹭属于鹭属,鹭科,与[具体物种]为姐妹关系。这些信息将有助于当前对鹈形目系统发育和进化的理解。
