Mitochondrial Genomes Reveal Slow Rates of Molecular Evolution and the Timing of Speciation in Beavers (Castor), One of the Largest Rodent Species (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Linear regression of average substitution rates and lifespan of rodents.
Rodents with higher mitochondrial substitution rates exhibit a shorter lifespan (R squared = 0.4011, p-value = 0.0113). See Table S6 and S7 for details.
