Endotherms, ectotherms, and mitochondrial genome-size variation.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 1993

Rand D M

Abstract excerpt

The patterns of mitochondrial genome-size variation were investigated in endothermic and ectothermic species to examine the role that thermal habit might play in the evolution of animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Data on mtDNA size (the modal, largest, and smallest mtDNA reported within a species...
