Divergence of mitochondrial dna is not corroborated by nuclear dna, morphology, or behavior in Drosophila simulans.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

We ask whether the observed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) population subdivision of Drosophila simulans is indicative of organismal structure or of specific processes acting on the mitochondrial genome. Factors either intrinsic or extrinsic to the host genome may influence the evolutionary dynamics of mtDNA. Potential intrinsic factors include adaptation of the mitochondrial genome and of nucleomitochondrial gene...
