Landscape genomics: natural selection drives the evolution of mitogenome in penguins

Abstract Background Mitochondria play a key role in the balance of energy and heat production, and therefore the mitochondrial genome is under natural selection by environmental temperature and food availability, since starvation can generate more efficient coupling of energy production. However, se...
