Mitogenomic evolutionary rates in bilateria are influenced by parasitic lifestyle and locomotory capacity
Abstract The evidence that parasitic animals exhibit elevated mitogenomic evolutionary rates is inconsistent and limited to Arthropoda. Similarly, the evidence that mitogenomic evolution is faster in species with low locomotory capacity is limited to a handful of animal lineages. We hypothesised tha...
