Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genome is a powerful tool for studying evolutionary biology, because it is affected by niche adaptation, energy requirements and phenotypic plasticity of organisms. Generalizations about mitogenome evolution are tricky and lead to inconsistent results. The mitogenome can contain lesser mutations than expected and escape mutational meltdown only through the balance of mutation-selection-drift. The...
