Mutation pressure mediates a pattern of substitution rates with latitude and climate in carnivores
Abstract The evolutionary patterns of the mitochondrial genome are influenced by both adaptive and nonadaptive forces, with their contributions varying among taxa. There appears to be a correlation linking mutagenesis and latitude, which could be due to differences in metabolic rates. These discrepa...
