Increased mitochondrial mutation frequency after an island colonization: positive selection or accumulation of slightly deleterious mutations?

Biology letters - 23 Apr 2013

Hardouin Emilie A, Tautz Diethard

Abstract excerpt

Island colonizations are excellent models for studying early processes of evolution. We found in a previous study on mice that had colonized the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Archipelago about 200 years ago that they were derived from a single founder lineage and that this showed an unexpectedly large number of new mutations in the mitochondrial D-loop. To assess whether positive selection has played a role in the...
