ABSTRACT
The Eudocimus ruber (Scarlet ibis) belongs to the bird order Pelecaniformes. Here, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of E. ruber. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. ruber is 16 697 bp in length and contains 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and a non-coding control region. Consistent with other sequenced birds, most genes are encoded on the heavy strand, except for ND6 and 8 tRNA genes. The overall base composition of the E. ruber is 30.8% A, 30.8% C, 13.8%G and 24.6% T. The molecular-based phylogenetic tree suggested that E. ruber has close affinities with birds from family Threskiornithidae as expected.
