The vast majority of studies employing mt DNA in evolutionary biology and ecology have
used it as a means to infer demographic and historical patterns without pondering the …

Genetic variation in cytoplasmic genomes (ie the mitochondrial genome in animals, and the
combined mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes in plants) was traditionally assumed to …

Diversifying selection on metabolic pathways can reduce intraspecific gene flow and
promote population divergence. An opportunity to explore this arises from mitonuclear …

Mitochondria have been suggested to be paramount for temperature adaptation in insects.
Considering the large range of environments colonized by this taxon, we hypothesized that …

A growing body of research suggests that the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is important
for temperature adaptation. In the yeast genus Saccharomyces, species have diverged in …

Genetic analysis of phenotypic differences between species is typically limited to interfertile
species. Here, we conducted a genome-wide noncomplementation screen to identify genes …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in developed
countries. While linked to genetic polymorphisms in the complement pathway, there are …

Mitochondrial performance may play a role in setting whole-animal thermal tolerance limits
and their plasticity, but the relative roles of adjustments in mitochondrial performance across …

Ectotherm thermal tolerance is critical to species distribution, but at present the physiological
underpinnings of heat tolerance remain poorly understood. Mitochondrial function is …

Abstract Effects of fluctuations in habitat temperature (18–30°) on mitochondrial respiratory
behavior and oxidative metabolic responses in the euryhaline ectotherm Scylla serrata are …
