Comment on "Population size does not influence mitochondrial genetic diversity in animals".

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 1 Dec 2006

Mulligan Connie J, Kitchen Andrew, Miyamoto Michael M

Abstract excerpt

Bazin et al. (Reports, 28 April, 2006, p. 570) found no relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity and population size when comparing across large groups of animals. We show empirically that species with smaller populations, as represented by eutherian mammals, exhibit a positive correlation between mtDNA and allozyme variation, suggesting that mtDNA diversity may correlate with population size in...
