Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA has unique biological characteristics, such as a high mutation rate and clonal inheritance, which make it an appropriate marker in molecular biology. However, exceptionally high mitochondrial divergences have been reported in terrestrial and marine invertebrates, plants, and certain vertebrate lineages, which complicates the interpretation of the results in DNA barcoding and evolutionary...
