Mitochondrial DNA as a marker of molecular diversity: a reappraisal
Over the last three decades, mitochondrial DNA has been the most popular marker of
molecular diversity, for a combination of technical ease‐of‐use considerations, and …

Population size and the rate of evolution
Does evolution proceed faster in larger or smaller populations? The relationship between
effective population size (N e) and the rate of evolution has consequences for our ability to …

Large variation in the ratio of mitochondrial to nuclear mutation rate across animals: implications for genetic diversity and the use of mitochondrial DNA as a molecular …
It is commonly assumed that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves at a faster rate than
nuclear DNA (nuDNA) in animals. This has contributed to the popularity of mtDNA as a …

[HTML][HTML] Pattern and timing of diversification of Cetartiodactyla (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria), as revealed by a comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial genomes
The order Cetartiodactyla includes cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) that are
found in all oceans and seas, as well as in some rivers, and artiodactyls (ruminants, pigs …
