Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Contemporary studies on aging and longevity have largely overlooked the role that
adaptation plays in lifespan variation across species. Emerging evidence indicates that the …

In animals, interactions among gene products of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes
(mitonuclear interactions) are of profound fitness, evolutionary, and ecological significance …

Interactions between nuclear and mitochondrial gene products are critical for eukaryotic cell
function. Nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial-targeted proteins (N-mt genes) experience …

Recent advances in DNA sequencing and genoty** technologies are rapidly building our
capacity to address ecological, evolutionary, and conservation questions for wildlife species …

We review DNA-based studies of elephants and recently extinct proboscideans. The
evidence indicates that little or no nuclear gene flow occurs between African savanna …

Genomic phylogeography plays an important role in describing evolutionary processes and
their geographic, ecological, or cultural drivers. These drivers are often poorly understood in …

The oldest known shipwreck in southern Africa was found in Namibia in 2008. 1–4 Forty tons
of cargo, including gold and silver coins, helped identify the ship as the Bom Jesus, a …

Sea turtles are the only extant chelonian representatives that inhabit the marine
environment. One key to successful colonization of this habitat is the adaptation to different …

Mitochondrial DNA has been heavily utilized in phylogeography studies for several
decades. However, underlying patterns of demography and phylogeography may be …
