The incomplete natural history of mitochondria.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2004

Ballard J William O, Whitlock Michael C

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used to study molecular ecology and phylogeography for 25 years. Much important information has been gained in this way, but it is time to reflect on the biology of the mitochondrion itself and consider opportunities for evolutionary studies of the organelle itself and its ecology, biochemistry and physiology. This review has four sections. First, we review aspects of the...
