Incompatibilities between mitochondrial and nuclear genes can perturb respiration,
biosynthesis, signaling and gene expression. Here we investigate whether mild mitonuclear …

Diet may be modified seasonally or by biogeographic, demographic or cultural shifts. It can
differentially influence mitochondrial bioenergetics, retrograde signalling to the nuclear …

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important
for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of …

Evolutionary theory proposes that maternal inheritance of mitochondria will facilitate the
accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations that are harmful to males but benign …

Mitochondrial genomes compete for transmission from mother to progeny. We explored this
competition by introducing a second genome into Drosophila melanogaster to follow …

The family Miridae is one of the most species-rich families of insects. To better understand
the diversity and evolution of mirids, we determined the mitogenome of Lygus pratenszs and …

Background The immense geologic and ecological complexity of the Caribbean has created
a natural laboratory for interpreting when and how organisms disperse through time and …

The ancient acquisition of the mitochondrion into the ancestor of modern‐day eukaryotes is
thought to have been pivotal in facilitating the evolution of complex life. Mitochondria retain …

Theory predicts that maternal inheritance of mitochondria will facilitate the accumulation of
mtDNA mutations that are male biased, or even sexually antagonistic, in effect. While there …

Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) renders selection blind to mutations
whose effects are limited to males. Evolutionary theory predicts this will lead to the …
