Description
Weiya Qian and co-authors sequenced in 2023 the full mitochondrial genomes of two plover species to sort out family ties among shorebirds. This bird order is prized for evolution study, but family links in one branch are little studied and one family grouping is disputed. The two new genomes were each near seventeen thousand letters long.
Change rates differed across the thirteen protein genes, slowest in one and fastest in another. All family genes showed signs of purifying selection. Trees built from a few genes placed one genus outside the family, while full-genome trees placed it inside. The authors warn that gene choice can mislead such trees and urge more full genomes.
