Abstract: Closely related taxa often exhibit mitonuclear discordance attributed to introgression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), yet few studies have considered the underlying causes of mtDNA introgression. Here we test for demographic versus adaptive processes as explanations… read more here.

Abstract: Hibernation is an extraordinary phenomenon evolved in many animals including some mammals, allowing them to survive unfavorable environmental conditions. This period represents a phase of fasting, which is known to affect the gut microflora in… read more here.
