Ancient DNA research has been revolutionized following development of next-generation
sequencing platforms. Although a number of such platforms have been applied to ancient …

Cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in phylogenetic studies, yet few studies
have tested whether these patterns reflect incomplete lineage sorting or organellar …

One of the biggest challenges in population genetics of marine species is to uncover subtle
phylogeographic patterns masked by large effective population sizes and/or high gene flow …

One of the most iconic Australian fish is the Murray cod, Maccullochella peelii (Mitchell
1838), a freshwater species that can grow to∼ 1.8 metres in length and live to age≥ 48 …

Diversifying selection between populations that inhabit different environments can promote
lineage divergence within species and ultimately drive speciation. The mitochondrial …

ABSTRACT A study including morphological characters and mitogenomics of South
American and Australian fishes previously assigned to Percichthyidae was conducted …

Genetic variation in mitochondrial genes could underlie metabolic adaptations because
mitochondrially encoded proteins are directly involved in a pathway supplying energy to …

There is increasing evidence that mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can be under
selection, whereas the selective regimes shaping mitogenome evolution remain largely …

Background Mitochondria play a key role in the balance of energy and heat production, and
therefore the mitochondrial genome is under natural selection by environmental temperature …

Context The Murray–Darling Basin–Australia's largest river system–is heavily dominated by
alien fish. Native fish species have suffered numerous localised extinctions and∼ 47% are …
