The maintenance of mitochondrial genetic variation by negative frequency-dependent selection.

Ecology letters - 1 Jan 2014

Kazancıoğlu Erem, Arnqvist Göran

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial genes generally show high levels of standing genetic variation, which is puzzling given the accumulating evidence for phenotypic effects of mitochondrial genetic variation. Negative frequency-dependent selection, where the relative fitness of a genotype is inversely related to its frequency in a population, provides a potent and potentially general process that can maintain mitochondrial...
