Natural distributions of mitochondrial sequence diversity support new null hypotheses.

Abstract excerpt

A variety of forces and constraints can cause sequence data to deviate from patterns predicted under strict neutrality. Here, I present a meta-analysis of available aligned sequence data from 12 higher animal taxa to identify whether the typical null assumption for an often-used test for neutrality--Tajima's D statistic--is an appropriate or useful null given large numbers of empirical observations. Across 1068...
