Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) play a crucial role in species adaptation to diverse evolutionary pressures. Although adaptive changes in mitochondrial genes have been reported under extreme conditions, large-scale analyses of mitogenomic evolution across ecologically diverse habitats are still limited. The Eurasian tree sparrow ( Passer montanus), one of the most widely distributed avian species, occupies...
