Abstract

Fischer's Lovebird (Agapornis fischeri) is one of the most popular pet birds in the world. Here, we first reported the complete mitochondrial genome of this species. Its mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,719 bp in size, and all genes exhibit the typical gene arrangement according with most avian consensus. The overall base composition is 51.1% A + T and 48.9% G + C. Bayesian tree suggested that A. fischeri was placed as sister to the Agapornis roseicollis of the same genus. The results obtained here would be useful for phylogenetic analyses and breeding works of A. fischeri in future.
