Mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis reveals multiple Pleistocene glacial refugia for the Yellow‐spotted mountain newt, Neurergus derjugini (Caudata: Salamandridae) in the mid‐Zagros range in Iran and Iraq

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 2661-2676, March 2020., 2020
To identify the location of glacial refugia of the Yellow‐spotted mountain newt, Neurergus derjugini, we employed phylogeography patterns and genetic variability of this species by analyzing partial ND4 sequences from the whole species range in Iran and Iraq.

Characterization of a translocated Mitochondrial Cytochrome b pseudogene in Meriones persicus (Rodentia; Gerbillinae); a potential taxonomic pitfall

, 2023
Due to its faster evolution rate compared to nuclear genes, haploid mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a promising species identification tool. This has led to its significant use in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. While mtDNA is subject to selective constraints that prevent the accumulation of deleterious mutations, the prevalence of nuclear ...
