Stronger selective constraints on the mitochondrial genome in flying fishes

Stronger selective constraints on the mitochondrial genome in flying fishes

Flying fishes, which use their wing-like pectoral fins and hypocercal caudal fin to glide through the air to avoid underwater predators, have independently evolved flight behavior, making them ideal for the study of adaptive evolution. To investigate the adaptation of flight behavior in flying fishe...
