Digest: Mitonuclear interactions modulate life history phenotypes in the wild

M Florencia Camus. Evolution. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Do mitonuclear interactions impact life history traits? Rank et al. found that these genomic interactions are of great importance in wild populations of the leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis and may explain why populations are highly differentiated.
