Does effective population size affect rates of molecular evolution: Mitochondrial data for host/parasite species pairs in bees suggests not
Abstract Adaptive evolutionary theory argues that organisms with larger effective population size (Ne) should have higher rates of adaptive evolution and therefore greater capacity to win evolutionary arm races. However, in some certain cases, species with much smaller Ne may be able to survive besi...
