Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used to study molecular ecology and
phylogeography for 25 years. Much important information has been gained in this way, but it …

▪ Abstract To assess the frequency and importance of reinforcement in nature we must begin
by looking for its signature in the most likely places. Theoretical studies can pinpoint …

With millions of species and their life-stage transformations, the animal kingdom provides a
challenging target for taxonomy. Recent work has suggested that a DNA-based identification …

Asymmetric postmating isolation, where reciprocal interspecific crosses produce different
levels of fertilization success or hybrid sterility/inviability, is very common. Darwin …

Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Mitochondrial bioenergetics plays a key role in multiple basic cellular processes, such as
energy production, nucleotide biosynthesis, and iron metabolism. It is an essential system …

Speciation research has largely assumed that the genetic causes of reproductive isolation
are the work of fixed, divergent alleles that interact to cause genetic problems in hybrids …

Electron transport system (ETS) function in mitochondria is essential for the aerobic
production of energy. Because ETS function requires extensive interactions between …

▪ Abstract We examine the genetics of marine diversification along the West Coast of North
America in relation to the Late Neogene geology and climate of the region. Trophically …

Much progress has been made in the past two decades in understanding Darwin's mystery
of the origins of species. Applying genomic techniques to the analysis of laboratory crosses …
