Direct evidence for extensive paternal mitochondrial DNA inheritance in the marine mussel Mytilus
Article Abstract:
Evidence that inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be paternal as well as maternal was provided by pair-matings in two species of marine mussels, Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus. The role of paternal mtDNA among the mussels both in intra- and interspecific crosses was far more extensive than what had previously been observed among Drosophila flies and mice.

Consistent patterns and the idiosyncratic effects of biodiversity in marine ecosystems
Article Abstract:
Research into the effects of biodiversity on marine ecosystems is described. It is shown that consistent and idiosyncratic effects of diversity are not opposing outcomes.
