Testing the effect of metabolic rate on DNA variability at the intra-specific level.

PloS one - 15 Mar 2010

McGaughran Angela, Holland Barbara R

Abstract excerpt

We tested the metabolic rate hypothesis (whereby rates of mtDNA evolution are postulated to be mediated primarily by mutagenic by-products of respiration) by examining whether mass-specific metabolic rate was correlated with root-to-tip distance on a set of mtDNA trees for the springtail Cryptopygus antarcticus travei from sub-Antarctic Marion Island.Using Bayesian analyses and a novel application of the...
