Abstract Eumeces elegans is a kind of blue-tailed lizard in the genus Eumeces, and widely distributed in southern provinces of China. We sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of Eumeces elegans. The total length of the complete mitochondrial genome was 17,304 bp with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs and a control regions. The overall base composition of Eumeces elegans was 31.0% A, 15.0% G, 29.8% C, and 24.2% T. ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes were…

Complete mitochondrial genome of Scincella modesta (Squamata: Scincidae) and phylogenetic analysis
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian Inference validated the taxonomic status of S. modesta, exhibiting the close relationship with the other two species from the genus Scincella.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Eumeces chinensis (Squamata: Scincidae) and implications for Scincidae taxonomy
TLDR
The phylogeny study shows that E. chinensis and P. egregius are the sister group which belongs to the genus, Plestiodon, and proves that Lacertidae is sister to the families, Gekkonidae and Scincidae.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of Scincella vandenburghi and S. huanrenensis (Squamata: Scincidae)
TLDR
The complete mitochondrial genomes of the skink species Scincella vandenburghi and S. huanrenensis are reported and a phylogenetic tree is constructed for these two species and an additional 16 species within the suborder Lacertilia.
The complete mitochondrial genome of a blue-tailed skink (Plestiodon tunganus) endemic to Sichuan Basin
TLDR
The resulting phylogenetic tree showed that P. tunganus clustered in a branch close to the species from the same genus, which will provide fundamental data to explore mitochondrial genome evolution in skinks.
Complete mitochondrial genome of a blue-tailed skink Plestiodon capito (Reptilia, Squamata, Scincidae) and comparison with other Scincidae lizards.
TLDR
The complete mitogenome of a blue-tailed skink Plestiodon capito is determined for the first time, and it is compared with other skinks available in GenBank to better understand structure and evolution of the mitochondrial DNA control region in reptiles as well as the evolutionary status of P. capito.
Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the many-lined sun skink (Eutropis multifasciata) and comparison with other Scincomorpha species.
The Drivers of Mitochondrial DNA Divergences
TLDR
This study precisely locate the mtDNA lineage breaks and investigates the presence of physical barriers in those areas, sequence the entire mtDNA genome and test the following hypotheses: unrestricted nDNA gene flow occurs across the species; mtDNA divergences correspond to the geological events; and that functional diversifying selection is involved in the maintenance of mtDNA discordances.

Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome
TLDR
The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented and shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs.
MITOCHONDRIAL DNA PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF THE POLYTYPIC NORTH AMERICAN RAT SNAKE (ELAPHE OBSOLETA): A CRITIQUE OF THE SUBSPECIES CONCEPT
TLDR
Mitochondrial DNA analysis of the polytypic snake, Elaphe obsoleta, yields well-supported clades that do not conform to any of the currently accepted subspecies, and underscores the potential problems of recognizing subspecies based on one or a few characters.
Population Genetic Structure of the Prairie Skink (Eumeces septentrionalis): Nested Clade Analysis of Post Pleistocene Populations
TLDR
Two regions of the mitochondrial genome, ND4 and d-loop, from 64 Eumeces septentrionalis are sequenced to assess intra- and interspecific population differentiation and suggest that these allopatric populations are on separate evolutionary trajectories.
Growth, sexual size dimorphism and female reproduction of blue-tailed skinks, Eumeces elegans
TLDR
It was concluded that sexual dimorphism in body size of E.elegans occurred only in adults, and the strategy of energy partition of adult males and females was different.

Inter-population Differences in Reproductive Life-history Traits of Blue-tailed Skinks ( Eumeces elegans ) from Hangzhou and Ningde, Eastern China
TLDR
In E. elegans, reproductive life histories differ significantly between the two populations, and maternal body size accounts for a large quantity of such inter-population differences, suggesting that the reproductive strategies for this species change from a high-latitudinal population to a low- latitudinal population.
Herpetology of China
Rapid evolution of animal mitochondrial DNA.
TLDR
The rate of evolution of the mitochondrial genome appears to exceed that of the single-copy fraction of the nuclear genome by a factor of about 10 and is likely to be an extremely useful molecule to employ for high-resolution analysis of the evolutionary process.
