Application of a random walk model to geographic distributions of animal mitochondrial DNA variation.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1993

Neigel J E, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

In rapidly evolving molecules, such as animal mitochondrial DNA, mutations that delineate specific lineages may not be dispersed at sufficient rates to attain an equilibrium between genetic drift and gene flow. Here we predict conditions that lead to nonequilibrium geographic distributions of mtDNA lineages, test the robustness of these predictions and examine mtDNA data sets for consistency with our model. Under...
