Complete Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogenetic Analysis of Turdus pallidus (Passeriformes, Turdidae)
Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes robustly supported the monophyly of Turdidae and recovered <i>T. pallidus</i> as most closely related to <i>T. obscurus</i>. Overall, this study provides a novel mitogenomic resource for <i>T. pallidus</i>, enhances phylogenetic resolution within <i>Turdus</i>, and underscores the value of complete mitochondrial genomes for molecular identification, conservation management, and avian evolutionary studies.
