Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA, inherited predominantly through the female line, has been exceptionally useful for reconstructing phylogenies (Avise, in Molecular markers, natural history and evolution. New York: Chapman and Hall (1994)). However, at the lowest taxonomic level, if there are polymorphisms within species the lineages of mitochondria need not correspond to the lineages of the species (Avise, in Phil. Trans. R....
