Over the last three decades, mitochondrial DNA has been the most popular marker of
molecular diversity, for a combination of technical ease‐of‐use considerations, and …

The study of reproductive isolation and species barriers frequently focuses on mitochondrial
genomes and has produced two alternative and almost diametrically opposed narratives. On …

Comparisons of DNA polymorphism within species to divergence between species enables
the discovery of molecular adaptation in evolutionarily constrained genes as well as the …

Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is commonly described as a small, circular molecule
that is conserved in size, gene content, and organization. Data collected in the last decade …

A genealogical species is defined as a basal group of organisms whose members are all
more closely related to each other than they are to any organisms outside the group …

The mitochondrial genome is considered generally to be an innocent bystander in adaptive
evolution; however, there is increasing evidence that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is an …

Several recent studies have confirmed that mitochondrial DNA variation and evolution are
not consistent with the neutral theory of molecular evolution and might be inappropriate for …

▪ Abstract The reconstruction of evolutionary trees from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data is a
common tool with which to infer the relationships of living organisms. The wide use of …

Bilingual individuals need effective mechanisms to prevent interference from one language
while processing material in the other. Here we show, using event-related brain potentials …

Over the past four decades, the predominant view of molecular evolution saw little
connection between natural selection and genome evolution, assuming that the functionally …
