Characterization of the Complete Mitogenome of the Ring-Necked Pheasant Phasianus colchicus (Galliformes: Phasianidae) and Systematic Implications for Phasianinae Phylogenetics
The study confirms <i>Phasianus monophyly</i> and its close relationship with Chrysolophus. Adaptation-related selective pressures on the <i>CO I</i>, <i>CO II</i>, <i>CO III</i>, <i>ND1</i>, <i>ND4L</i>, and <i>ND6</i> genes highlight its role in plateau environments, offering valuable insights into pheasant phylogeny.
