Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA is routinely used to answer a variety of biological questions; and there is growing evidence suggesting that its accumulation of mutations is influenced by life history, effective population size and cellular energy requirements. This study examines the influence of phylogenetic patterns of metabolic activity on the evolution of mitochondrial DNA in fishes, given energy requirements associated...
