| wolbachia-mediated persistence of mtdna from a potentially extinct species. | drosophila quinaria is polymorphic for infection with wolbachia, a maternally transmitted endosymbiont. wolbachia-infected individuals carry mtdna that is only distantly related to the mtdna of uninfected individuals, and the clade encompassing all mtdna haplotypes within d. quinaria also includes the mtdna of several other species of drosophila. nuclear gene variation reveals no difference between the wolbachia-infected and uninfected individuals of d. quinaria, indicating that they all belong ... | 2011 | 21595768 |
