Abstract

The great spotted woodpecker Dendrocopos major (Aves, Piciformes, Picidae) are the widespread woodpeckers from Eurasia and Northern Africa. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence consisted of 16,845 base pairs (bp) encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 2 non-coding regions (D-loop 1, D-loop 2). The overall base composition of D. major was G + C: 47.5%, A + T: 52.5%, apparently with a slight AT bias. Phylogenetic analysis showed that D. major was closely related to Dendrocopos leucotos.
