The strength and timing of the mitochondrial bottleneck in salmon suggests a conserved mechanism in vertebrates.
In most species mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited maternally in an apparently clonal fashion, although how this is achieved remains uncertain. Population genetic studies show not only that individuals can harbor more than one type of mtDNA (heteroplasmy) but that heteroplasmy is common and wide...
