Abstract
The Varied Solitaire (Myadestes coloratus Nelson, 1912) is a near-threatened bird species, endemic to the highlands of eastern Panama and the Colombian border. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of M. coloratus. The mitogenome exhibits a typical avian structure with a slight AT bias and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis confirms the close relationship between M. coloratus and other thrush (Turdidae) species, including the extinct M. myadestinus. This data is crucial for future research on the evolutionary history and population genetics of M. Coloratus. These findings are particularly relevant as the species is increasingly threatened by human expansion.
期刊介绍：
This open access journal publishes high-quality and concise research articles reporting the sequence of full mitochondrial genomes, and short communications focusing on the physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism and interactions.
