Abstract

We report the mitochondrial genome sequences of two migratory shorebirds, the Hudsonian godwit (Limosa haemastica) and the Red knot (Calidris canutus) obtained through shotgun sequencing. The mitogenome is of 16.445 bp for the godwit and 15.609 bp for the knot containing thirteen protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, twenty-two tRNAs, and a control region. The ATP8 and tRNA-Glu were not found in the knot. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis supported the position of both species in the clade of the Scolopacidae Family.
