Mutation rate is linked to diversification in birds.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 23 Nov 2010

Lanfear Robert, Ho Simon Y W, Love Dominic, Bromham Lindell

Abstract excerpt

How does genome evolution affect the rate of diversification of biological lineages? Recent studies have suggested that the overall rate of genome evolution is correlated with the rate of diversification. If true, this claim has important consequences for understanding the process of diversification, and implications for the use of DNA sequence data to reconstruct evolutionary history. However, the generality and...
