ISBN10: 0198818254, ISBN13: 9780198818250, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. This novel text provides a concise synthesis of how the interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genes have played a major role in shaping the ecology and evolution of eukaryotes. The foundation for this new focus on mitonuclear interactions originated from research in biochemistry and cell biology laboratories, although the broader ecological and evolutionary implications have yet to be fully explored. The imperative for mitonuclear coadaptation is proposedto be a major selective force in the evolution of sexual reproduction and two mating types in eukaryotes, in the formation of species, in the evolution of ornaments and sexual selection, in the processof adaptation, and in the evolution of senescence. The book highlights the importance of mitonuclear coadaptation to the evolution of complex life and champions mitonuclear ecology as an important subdiscipline in ecology and evolution. Highlights the importance of mitonuclear coadaptation to the evolution of complex life and in so doing will help to establish mitonuclear ecology as an important subdiscipline in ecology and evolution.
