Selective neutrality of mitochondrial ND2 sequences, phylogeography and species limits in Sitta europaea.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Sept 2006

Zink Robert M, Drovetski Sergei V, Rohwer Sievert

Abstract excerpt

Variation and geographic differentiation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was studied in the widespread and phenotypically variable Eurasian nuthatch (Sitta europaea). To assess whether sequences were evolving in a selectively neutral fashion, we used McDonald-Kreitman [Nature 351 (1991) 652] tests and a tree-based method, which suggested that although ND2 sequences are affected by natural selection against slightly...
