The mitogenomes of Gelochelidon nilotica and Sterna hirundo (Charadriiformes, Sternidae) and their phylogenetic implications

Gelochelidon nilotica and Sterna hirundo are two sympatric breeding species. The mitogenomes of G. nilotica and S. hirundo are 16,748 bp and 16,707 bp in size. Both two mitogenomes reveal the same gene order and genomic organization to that of typical avian mtDNA. The first conserved blocks with a i...
