Mitochondrial genome sequencing of Anarhynchus veredus
The Oriental Plover (Charadrius veredus), an important indicator species in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, currently lacks mitochondrial genome data. This absence has resulted in its systematic position within the genus Charadrius being primarily based on morphological inferences. The assembly and sequencing of the Oriental Plover's mitochondrial genome would facilitate a clearer understanding of the evolutionary relationships within the family Charadriidae.
