The published complete mitochondrial genome of the milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus) is a misidentified Pacific spadenose shark (Scoliodon macrorhynchos) (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhiniformes)

Figures & data

Figure 1. ML phylogenies of carcharhiniform sharks and outgroup(s) based on (a) COI (655 bp), (b) ND2 (1047 bp), (c) ND4 (873 bp), and (d) mitogenomes (13 PCGs, trimmed with GBLOCKS; 11,374 bp). Numbers along branches represent bootstrap support values (>70%) based on 1000 pseudoreplications. Note the consistent placement of MN602076 with Scoliodon macrorhynchos.
