Although the two species of chamois ( and ) are currently classified as least-concern by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), inconsistencies on the subspecies classification reported in literature make it challenging to assess the conservation status of the single subspecies. Previous studies relying on mitochondrial genes, sometimes in combination with nuclear or Y-chromosome markers, reported the presence of clusters corresponding to the geographic distribution but highlighting ambiguities in the genus phylogeny. Here we report novel de novo assembled sequences of the mitochondrial genome from nine individuals, including previously unpublished and subspecies, and use them to untangle the genus phylogeny. Our results based on the full mitogenome inferred phylogeny confirm the previously reported genus subdivision in three clades and its monophyletic positioning within the Phylogeny and taxonomy of species thus remain controversial prompting for the inclusion of archeological remains to solve the controversy.
尽管两种岩羚羊（和）目前被国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）列为最不关注物种，但文献中报道的亚种分类不一致使得评估单个亚种的保护状况具有挑战性。以往的研究依赖线粒体基因，有时还结合核基因或Y染色体标记，报告了与地理分布相对应的聚类的存在，但突出了该属系统发育中的模糊性。在这里，我们报告了来自9个个体的线粒体基因组的全新组装序列，包括以前未发表的和亚种，并利用它们来理清该属的系统发育。我们基于完整线粒体基因组推断系统发育的结果证实了先前报道的该属分为三个进化枝及其在系统发育中的单系定位。因此，物种的系统发育和分类仍然存在争议，这促使人们纳入考古遗迹来解决这一争议。
