Body mass and temperature influence rates of mitochondrial DNA evolution in North American cyprinid fish.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2007

Estabrook G F, Smith G R, Dowling T E

Abstract excerpt

The mass-specific metabolic rate hypothesis of Gillooly and others predicts that DNA mutation and substitution rates are a function of body mass and temperature. We tested this hypothesis with sequence divergences estimated from mtDNA cytochrome b sequences of 54 taxa of cyprinid fish. Branch lengths estimated from a likelihood tree were compared with metabolic rates calculated from body mass and environmental...
