Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Padda oryzivora (Estrildidae, Passeriformes) was sequenced. It is 16 817 bp in length, with an AT content of 54.72%, including 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the Java sparrow is a close relative of zebrafinch (Taeniopygia guttata) within the same family. These results are desired to provide molecular data for species taxonomy and further phylogenetic studies of passerines.
