Mitochondrial Genome Characteristics Reveal Evolution of (Jordan and Starks, 1904) and Phylogenetic Relationships.

In the present study, the mitochondrial genomic characteristics of have been reported and have depicted the phylogenetic relationship among Pleuronectidae. Combined with a comparative analysis of 13 PCGs, the TN93 model was used to review the neutral evolution and habitat evolution catalysis of the mitogenome to verify the distancing and purification selectivity of the mitogenome in Pleuronectidae. At the same time, a species differentiation and classification model based on mitogenome analysis data was established. This study is expected to provide a new perspective on the phylogenetic relationship and taxonomic status of and lay a foundation for further exploration of environmental and biological evolutionary mechanisms.
