No variation and low synonymous substitution rates in coral mtDNA despite high nuclear variation.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Mar 2006

Hellberg Michael E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of most animals evolves more rapidly than nuclear DNA, and often shows higher levels of intraspecific polymorphism and population subdivision. The mtDNA of anthozoans (corals, sea fans, and their kin), by contrast, appears to evolve slowly. Slow mtDNA evolution has been reported for several anthozoans, however this slow pace has been difficult to put in phylogenetic...
