Abstract

In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing data to assemble the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the White-tufted Sunbeam (Aglaeactis castelnaudii). The total length of the mitogenome was found to be 16,872 base pairs (bp), containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The nucleotide composition was as follows: A 30.6%, T 24.0%, C 31.2%, and G 14.2%, resulting in a GC content of 45.4%. Phylogenetic analysis, utilizing the concatenation of the 13 mitochondrial PCGs, indicated a closer evolutionary relationship between the genus Aglaeactis and the genus Coeligena compared to other genera within the family Trochilidae investigated in this study. The mitogenome of A. castelnaudii not only contributes to species identification but also provides valuable insights for phylogenetic and conservation genetic analyses of A. castelnaudii.

Keywords: Aglaeactis castelnaudii; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.

Phylogenetic tree of 14 species belonging to the trochilidae family constructed by using the maximum likelihood (ML) method, utilizing a dataset consisting of 13 PCGs. Apus apus from family apodidae was used as outgroup. Bootstrap values were shown alongside to the branches. The following sequences were used to infer the tree: Amazilia brevirostris KP722043.1, archilochus colubris EF532935.1 (Morgan-Richards et al. 2008), calliphlox amethystine KP853095.1, calypte anna MN356119 (Feng et al. 2020), chrysolampis mosquitus KJ619585.1 (Souto et al. 2016), coeligena bonapartei MT341536.1 (Palacios et al. 2023), florisuga fusca KP853096.1, glaucis hirsutus KT265275.1, heliodoxa aurescens KP853094.1, hylocharis cyanus KJ619586.1, lophornis magnificus KT265276.1, oreotrochilus melanogaster KJ619587.1, phaethornis malaris KP853097.1, Apus apus NC_008540.1 (Slack et al. 2007), and aglaeactis castelnaudii PP754509.
