Repeated Mitochondrial Capture With Limited Genomic Introgression in a Lizard Group.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial introgression is common among animals and is often first identified through mitonuclear discordance-discrepancies between evolutionary relationships inferred from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nuDNA). Over recent decades, genomic data have also revealed extensive nuclear introgression in many animal groups, with implications for genetic and phenotypic diversity. However, the extent to...
