Nuclear ribosomal DNA monophyly versus mitochondrial DNA polyphyly in two closely related mite species: the influence of life history and molecular drive.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2003

Navajas M, Boursot P

Abstract excerpt

In two very closely related but reproductively isolated mite species, Tetranychus urticae and T. turkestani, we found nucleotide diversity to be extensive for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) (3-4%) but extremely reduced for nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) (less than 0.5%). By contrast, ITS2 was shown to evolve much faster than COI between species of this genus....
