Cytochrome b divergence between avian sister species is linked to generation length and body mass (2014)
Journal Article
Thomson, C. E., Gilbert, J. D. J., & Brooke, M. D. L. (2014). Cytochrome b divergence between avian sister species is linked to generation length and body mass. PLoS ONE, 9(2), Article e85006. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0085006

It is increasingly realised that the molecular clock does not tick at a constant rate. Rather, mitochondrial mutation rates are influenced by factors such as generation length and body mass. This has implications for the use of genetic data in specie... Read More about Cytochrome b divergence between avian sister species is linked to generation length and body mass.
