Abstract

The white’s thrush Zoothera aurea (Aves, Passeriformes, Turdidae) breeds in wet boreal forest with pinophyta, in eastern Asia and Siberia. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence consisted of 16,778 base pairs (bp) encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and non-coding regions. The overall base composition of Z. aurea was G + C: 47.1%, A + T: 52.9%, apparently with a slight AT bias. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Z. aurea was closely related to Turdus philomelos.
